Taking a Perth Airport taxi
If you’re traveling to Western Australia’s sunny capital, you will most likely be landing at Perth International Airport (PER). Given how spread out this seaside city is, the best way to reach your hotel quickly and comfortably is to take a reliable Perth Airport taxi.
There are a limited number of airport providers enlisted to offer their taxi service from Perth Airport, all of which are available 24/7. Vehicles can typically accommodate up to 4 passengers, although maxicabs, which seat up to 11 people are sometimes also available. For rides from the airport, the driver must use the taximeter and is unable to offer a fixed fare rate. Reaching downtown from the airport takes just 20 minutes, or 30 minutes if you are headed to Fremantle.

Where to get a Perth Airport taxi
Perth Airport is split across two main terminals which are a 10-minute drive apart. Regardless of which building your plane lands at, Terminal 1/2 or 3/4, you’ll find an official Perth Airport taxi stand located outside the Arrivals Hall.
At Terminals 1 and 2, turn left as you exit the building and walk a minute or two, following the signs to the pickup area. At Terminal 3 and 4, there is a taxi stand directly in front of the Arrivals area, and along Valentine Road which is a 10-minute walk from the main building.
To skip the queue and ensure a driver is waiting for you on arrival, especially when arriving late at night, why not book your taxi with Welcome Pickups and secure an airport meet-and-greet with a friendly English-speaking driver?
