How the fare is calculated

For a rank pickup, the Sydney Airport to Olympic Park Taxi Fare starts with the hire charge. The meter adds distance and time below 26 km/h. Transport for NSW sets the maximum amounts, though a provider may charge less.

Current urban fare component Maximum amount

Day distance, first 12 km A$2.61 per km
Day distance, after 12 km A$2.37 per km
Night distance, first 12 km A$3.10 per km
Night distance, after 12 km A$2.82 per km
Waiting or slow movement below 26 km/h A$67.78 per hour, or A$1.13 per minute

Metered fare, booked quote and calculator estimate

These terms do not mean the same thing:

  • Regulated maximum: the NSW ceiling for a rank trip.
  • Metered fare: actual distance, slow time and allowed extras.
  • Booked quote: upfront pricing accepted before travel.
  • Qualifying fixed fare: the price for an eligible airport-to-CBD rank trip.
  • Calculator estimate: a planning figure from selected inputs.

A booked service follows the provider’s quoted and agreed terms, not this rank-based illustration.

Why the Sydney Airport to Olympic Park Taxi Fare is metered

The trial covers non-booked taxi trips from Sydney Airport directly to the designated CBD. It sets A$60 for standard taxis and A$80 for qualifying maxi taxis. Olympic Park, postcode 2127, sits outside the official fixed fare map, so this route uses the meter.

The fixed fare is not a cap for this route. Booked taxis, rideshare and airport transfers instead provide upfront pricing for the passenger to accept.

Route distance, travel time and tolls

Distance changes with the terminal, road closures and route. The calculator obtains road distance and applies the correct rate bands.

Congestion and major events can add slow-moving minutes. At A$1.13 per minute below 26 km/h, delays can raise the metered fare.

Tolls used during the journey can be added. Check the route and enter any expected toll.

Taxi pickup at Sydney Airport

T1, T2 and T3 have sheltered taxi ranks. Staff can arrange accessible taxis, baby capsules, larger vehicles or wagons.

Use the official rank for a non-booked taxi. Pre-booked services may use different pickup points and quoted pricing.

Maxi Taxi and accessible taxi rules

A maxi taxi rank fare may reach 150% with five or more passengers, or when requested at the airport. It does not apply for wheelchair-accessible service.

What can change the final amount?

The final Sydney Airport to Olympic Park Taxi Fare may be higher or lower than the displayed estimate because of:

  • airport terminal, distance and route
  • day, night or peak-time pricing
  • traffic or other time below 26 km/h
  • road closures and event traffic
  • tolls, airport access fee and Passenger Service Levy
  • maxi-taxi rules or a booked-service fee
  • a non-cash surcharge of up to 5%

The meter must remain visible. You may ask for a receipt.
