1. The Edmonton Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Edmonton taxi rate was officially set on 1 mars 2023. Taxi tariffs in Canada are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Edmonton was last set in mars 2023 and published in the official tariff ordinance. It is binding for all taxis and taxi companies within the compulsory driving area and may not be exceeded or undercut. This is ensured by officially calibrated taximeters installed in the taxis.

How the fare is made up under the Edmonton taxi rate:

The Edmonton taxi tariff outlines how taxi fares are calculated for passengers. When you enter a taxi in Edmonton, the fare starts with a base charge of $4.10. This is a fixed amount that covers the initial part of your journey.

After the base fare, there is a distance charge. For every kilometre you travel, there is an additional charge of $1.85 per kilometre. This rate applies to all distances for the journey. If there is a period when the taxi is waiting, such as in traffic or at your request, there is a waiting time charge of $30.00 per hour.

For trips to the Edmonton International Airport, taxi fares are calculated in a specific way. You will pay either the fare shown on the taxi meter for the distance travelled or a flat airport rate from the Edmonton International Airport fare map, whichever amount is less.

All fares are charged in Canadian dollars. These guidelines are designed to help passengers understand how their taxi fare is calculated under the Edmonton taxi tariff before starting their trip.
