The Straightforward Answer
A maxi taxi in Perth runs between $50 and $150 depending on where you’re headed. Airport trips are fixed prices. Local trips charge by distance. Groups of seven or more usually pay less per person.
The real thing that sets this apart: you get the price upfront. No meter ticking away. No surprise charge at the end because it’s peak hour. That alone changes how you plan a trip.
Getting Around Perth Locally
For most trips within Perth and the suburbs—Fremantle, Rockingham, Cottesloe—you pay a base charge plus distance.
A run from Fremantle to South Fremantle might be $30-40. Fremantle to Rockingham could be $80-100. You get quoted before you book. No guessing.
Fixed pricing matters because you’re not going to suddenly owe $200 because it’s Friday night. You pay what you agreed to.
Airport Runs
Perth Airport isn’t cheap to reach, but not because the taxis are pricey. It’s the distance.
– Fremantle to Perth Airport: $85-110 fixed
– Rockingham to Perth Airport: $110 fixed
– Cottesloe to Perth Airport: $100-120 fixed
Set prices. Book it, pay it. This is the opposite of Uber when a bunch of planes land at once and suddenly everything costs double.
What Actually Changes the Price
A few things bump it up:
Going from a 7-seater to a 13-seater costs more, but the price per person goes down. That’s why groups save money compared to three separate regular taxis.
Luggage usually doesn’t add anything. Airport luggage is the same. Just mention it when you book.
Late-night airport runs (4am) or very late pickups might have a premium. Worth asking when you call.
Wheelchair access or a baby capsule rental adds a bit—usually $20-30 for the capsule.
Maxi Taxi vs Uber: The Real Numbers
This is where the math swings your way if you’re with a group.
Say four of you are going from Fremantle to the airport.
Two Ubers: $45 each = $180 total (and that’s if surge pricing doesn’t kick in)
One maxi taxi: $90-110 fixed = roughly $22-27 per person split
With six people or more, a maxi taxi almost always wins on cost. Plus you’re all in one car. Nobody waits for the second pickup.
Group Discounts
Booking for a wedding, event, or team thing? Ask about group rates when you call. You might get a discount for multiple trips or larger groups.
Regular taxi companies usually don’t do this. Maxi services do.
Moving Stuff Around Perth
Deliveries and cargo moves work the same way as passenger trips. Distance-based pricing. Good for furniture, event gear, stock. You get the address and they quote you.
