Maximum fares, meters and fare schedules for rank or hail (taxi) services
The Transport (Road Passenger Services) Act 2018 (the Act) and the Transport (Road Passenger Services) Regulations 2020 (the Regulations) outline responsibilities for how on-demand rank or hail (taxi) fares can be charged, including:
- requirement to install and use a fare calculation device (meter);
- requirement to display fare schedules; and
- limits on the maximum fares that can be charged.
On-demand booking services (ODBSs) that provide taxi services are responsible for setting fares up to or below the maximum regulated fare amounts. Taxi fares must be consistent with the relevant Schedule outlined in the Regulations.
Taxi fares must not exceed the maximum amounts as outlined in these schedules. The maximum amounts and fare structures in these schedules are shown on this page.
All fares and charges that are set by the ODBS must be reflected in the fare schedule, and accurately calculated by the meter. For this to occur, taxi drivers must always use their meter when operating for hire at taxi ranks, or when hailed on the street.
Maximum metered taxi fares are reviewed annually, based on indexation by the ‘Perth Private Motoring’ sub-group of Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). For more information, see the 2022 review of maximum metered taxi fares section on this page.
Failure to comply with the above requirements can result in an infringement or prosecution against the driver, vehicle provider or ODBS.
What does the fare schedule include?
Under the legislation, the fare schedule must be displayed in the approved form. This means it must:
- include the name of the ODBS provider;
- detail the rates and amounts to be paid for the trip;
- be printed in a format that is legible;
- not be handwritten;
- display all text in the English language; and
- display all figures in Australian currency, with cents rounded to two decimal places.
It is the joint responsibility of the ODBS, vehicle provider and driver to ensure that the fare schedule is displayed in the approved form.
Where is the fare schedule displayed?
Fare schedules in the approved form must be located in a position that is clearly visible:
- from the outside of the front passenger window; and
- to passengers inside the vehicle who wish to view it.
Summary fare schedules
If the design of the vehicle makes it impractical to display the full fare schedule on the outside of the vehicle, then a summary fare schedule can be attached to the outside of the front passenger door. The full fare schedule must be displayed inside the vehicle, visible to passengers.
The summary fare schedule must contain at least the following information:
- any flag fall that applies and the times and/or circumstances in which it applies; and
- the distance rates for each tariff and the times and/or circumstances in which they apply.
The summary fare schedule must be in the approved form – this means it must:
- be printed in a format that is legible;
- not be handwritten;
- display all text in the English language; and
- display all figures in Australian currency, with cents rounded to two decimal places.
Contract fares
This is the agreed amount payable for the hire of a taxi (or charter vehicle), which must be agreed before the journey starts, between:
- the hirer and the driver; or
- the hirer and the driver's ODBS.
Contract fares must be recorded in writing – this includes electronic formats like SMS or email.
Written confirmation of a contract fare must include:
- enough detail to identify the driver, the vehicle/s used, the person who booked the service, and at least one passenger;
- the start and end locations of the proposed journey;
- the day and time of the proposed journey;
- the amount agreed to pay for the contract fare (including any amount for GST); and
- a statement declaring that additional fees may be payable (for exammple, parking fees, cleaning fees, payment surcharges and airport fees).
Written confirmation of contract fares is required to meet record keeping obligations under the Act. Visit Record keeping for ODBSs for more information.
Contract fares cannot be arranged if the passenger is engaging the driver at a taxi rank or hailing the vehicle on the street. In these situations, drivers must use their meters.
For a pre-booked taxi journey, you cannot charge above the relevant regulated maximum fares or include any components not approved in the Regulations, if:
- a meter is used; and
- a contract fare has not been agreed between the hirer and the driver or ODBS, before the journey starts.
Passenger Transport Subsidy Scheme contract fares
The Passenger Transport Subsidy Scheme (PTSS) can be used where a passenger agrees to a contract fare. However, if a PTSS card is to be used for the payment or part-payment of the contract fare, the amount agreed must not exceed the metered fare that would otherwise have been payable for the hire of the taxi.
Fares for other on-demand transport services (including charter and rideshare)
There are no regulated minimum or maximum fares for other forms of on-demand transport, such as charter services (including rideshare).
These drivers and passengers must agree to a pre-agreed or "contract" fare prior to travel commencing, which must be recorded in writing – this includes electronic formats like SMS or email.
Read the 'Contract fares' section on this page for more information.
Taxi surcharges
The State Government has capped surcharges imposed on taxi passengers who pay their fare with non-cash methods, to a maximum of 5%.
If the vehicle has more than one Point of Sale machine, the driver must use the device with the lowest surcharge.
Unauthorised tip charges
Under Australian Consumer Law, drivers should not charge a service tip without the passenger's knowledge, offer or express authority.
To make an inquiry or to lodge a complaint, contact the relevant ODBS provider directly.
Complaints can also be referred to the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety Consumer Protection for further assistance.

All vehicles are fitted with taxi meters that charge fares and charges (set by the relevant ODBS) to passengers, though drivers and passengers can enter into a pre-agreement as to the fare amount without the use of a taxi meter.
Contract fares cannot be arranged if the passenger is engaging the driver at a taxi rank, or hailing the vehicle on the street – drivers must use their meters in these situations. Read the 'Contract fares' section above for more information.
There are no regulated minimum or maximum fares for other forms of on-demand transport, such as charter services (including rideshare).

2022 review of maximum metered taxi fares
An independent review of the way maximum metered taxi fares are regulated in WA, commissioned by the Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure (DTMI), was completed in June 2022.
A range of authorised ODBSs in Perth and regional areas participated in the review, providing insights to the nature of their business costs and their views on regulating various fare components.
DTMI will continue to engage with industry to ensure the fare regulation model meets the needs of ODBSs, drivers and the travelling public.
