Taxis & Limousines

Taxi and Limousine Services in Tasmania not only on land between cities and towns but also by water.

Tasmania has taxi and limousine services of a high standard. Our main cities are compact so the concept of 'grabbing a cab' is very much part of Tasmanian culture.

Average flag fall is $3 with trips charged at around $1.58 per kilometre from 6am to 8pm Monday to Friday and $1.89 per kilometre at all other times. There is a $2 airport pick-up surcharge automatically added to the fare.

One-way taxi fares between Hobart Airport and the city are around $35-$40 week days (business hours); between Launceston Airport and the city, around $32-$36. Surcharges apply to out of hours and weekends.

As well as a great set of 'standard' cab companies there are also limousine services for that special occasion or arrival.
