Tasmania Taxi

Taxis in Tasmania

Taxi services are available in all of Tasmania’s major hubs, including Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie, as well as Ulverstone and Perth. They can be hired from taxi ranks at airports, bus stations and inner city/town areas or hailed while passing on the street. You can also phone and book a taxi directly with a company or through their app.

In addition to standard taxi sedans and station wagons that can seat up to four passengers, Tasmanian taxis include people movers that can carry up to 11 people. If required, you can also book wheelchair accessible taxis in Tasmania, which are otherwise known as “maxi taxis”.

The flagfall for a standard taxi in Tasmania is around $3.90, with a charge of between $2.00 and $2.50 per kilometre on top of that. For high-occupancy vehicles (5+ people), the flagfall is $5.30 and the tariff per kilometre ranges from $2.30 to $2.75.
