How much is the taxi fare on Phillip Island?
Your metered fare is based on the distance and time you travel, plus any tolls or government fees along the way. The final amount shows on the meter at the end of your trip.
Want a guide before you book? Our Fare Estimate Calculator gives you a price based on your pickup and drop-off. Your final metered fare can still vary with traffic and the route taken.
Prefer upfront pricing? Lock it in with a Fixed Fare Taxi. Enter your pickup and destination, select Fixed Price at booking and pay by card, and that price stays put.
We offer flexible payment options, including cash, credit and debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Cabcharge. PayPal is available on the App and our website booking page.
