Check the Sydney Airport to Darling Harbour taxi fare using the NSW Sydney Airport fixed fare trial last reviewed in June 2026 when the trip is eligible, plus a route-based estimate for custom Sydney trips.
Enter another pickup and destination in Sydney to calculate a custom taxi fare estimate using the same fare logic.
From 3 November 2025, eligible non-booked taxi trips from the Sydney Airport Precinct directly to Darling Harbour addresses inside the Sydney CBD trial area can use the official fixed fare trial. The fixed fare is $60 for a standard or wheelchair accessible taxi and $80 for a requested maxi taxi or when there are 5 or more passengers.
For eligible Airport to Darling Harbour fixed fare trips inside the Sydney CBD trial area, tolls, taxes and Sydney Airport access fees are included in the fixed fare. An allowed non-cash payment surcharge or cleaning fee may still apply. For non-eligible custom routes, the calculator shows an estimated fare range based on distance, travel time, day or night tariff, waiting time, Passenger Service Levy and optional trip inputs.
The Sydney Airport to CBD fixed fare trial is published by NSW Point to Point Transport / Transport for NSW. Darling Harbour is used in this guide as a CBD-area destination, but passengers should confirm the exact destination is inside the Sydney CBD trial area before relying on the fixed fare.
