Are taxis in Torquay available 24 hours a day?
Yes, we’re on the road in Torquay around the clock, every day of the year. Local public transport runs on set timetables that often miss late nights and early mornings, but with us, you’re never tied to a schedule.
From quick local trips to longer runs, our experienced Drivers know Torquay inside out. They’re backed by Australia’s largest taxi network, with over 10,000 vehicles nationwide and over 60% of them hybrid. So if you need an early start at Torquay Front Beach or a late ride home along the Surf Coast Highway, there’s a cab ready when you need one.
We cover Torquay and surrounding 13cabs service areas, including Jan Juc, Bellbrae and Bells Beach. When you need a reliable ride, there are plenty of reasons to choose 13cabs on the Surf Coast.
How much is the taxi fare in Torquay?
Your Torquay taxi fare is based on government-regulated rates set by the state. Here’s how to check the cost before you book:
- Metered fare: Your fare starts with a base hire charge, then builds on the distance and time travelled. The final amount appears on the meter when you arrive.
- Fare Estimate: Our Fare Estimate gives you an idea of the cost before you book. Just keep in mind that traffic and the route taken can still affect the final metered fare.
- Fixed Price: Prefer to know your price upfront? Enter your pick-up and drop-off locations, select Fixed Price during booking and pay by card. Once locked in, the price won’t change.
Is a taxi or rideshare better in Torquay?
Both rideshare and taxis are available in Torquay, so you can choose whichever suits your trip. If you go with 13cabs, you can select a Fixed Price during booking. Once it’s locked in, the price won’t change, so even on busy summer weekends and event days in Torquay, you’ll know your fare before you ride.
There’s more to it than the fare. All 13cabs Drivers hold a government-issued taxi licence and are licensed and accountable under Australian law. Each trip is also GPS-tracked with known vehicle identification on every booking.
