Sydney Airport taxi fare
Sydney Airport taxi prices are calculated using a taximeter. At present, taxi companies tend not to have flat rates to specific destinations throughout the city. With a taximeter, the cost will vary depending on the distance traveled. Your final fare will also include an airport toll of €3.30 (AUD 5.45). A standard taxi from Sydney Airport fits four passengers, and a van cab fits eight.
For example, a 25-30 minute trip to Sydney’s Central Business District should cost between €27 (AUD 45) and €34 (AUD 55) one way. This assumes that there are normal traffic conditions.
