Overview
Maximum fares levels remained unchanged in this review. However, we updated the mechanism for determining the airport rank fee that taxi drivers may charge passengers.
In October 2016, we released Updating the Schedule of Maximum Taxi Fares Document: Final Decision.
We don't determine what Melbourne Airport charges taxi drivers
While we determine how much taxi drivers can charge customers, we don't determine what Melbourne Airport charges taxi drivers for collecting passengers from the airport taxi rank.
Our final decision allowed taxi drivers to charge passengers an airport rank fee up to an amount equal to Melbourne Airport’s access charge and as published on Melbourne Airport’s website (and in a widely circulated newspaper). Melbourne Airport is fully responsible for the access charge.
We also made some minor amendments to the taxi fare schedule to simplifying wording, removing duplication of other regulations and reducing prescriptiveness.
The updated determination will take effect from 1 November 2016.
