Adelaide Airport Taxi Fares Explained
Adelaide taxi fares are metered and regulated under South Australian maximum tariffs, so companies like 13cabs, Adelaide Independent Taxis (AIT), Suburban Taxis and Yellow Cabs charge similar rates for the same trip.
The meter starts with a flag fall, then adds distance and waiting time. Extra charges can include a booking fee and an airport pickup fee when leaving Adelaide Airport, and payment is accepted by card, Cabcharge or cash.
A typical Adelaide Airport to CBD trip covers about 7 km and usually takes 15 to 20 minutes. Traffic on Sir Donald Bradman Drive or West Beach Road can push the metered total higher, but the maximum fare structure still applies.
About Taxis in Adelaide Airport 🚕
Adelaide Airport (ADL) has a dedicated taxi rank on the ground level outside the terminal, near the Qantas and Virgin Australia arrivals area. Attendants help organise the queue during peak periods, and maxi taxis are available for larger groups or extra luggage.
Major operators include 13cabs, Adelaide Independent Taxis (AIT), Suburban Taxis and Yellow Cabs. Vehicles range from standard sedans to wheelchair accessible taxis and maxi taxis, and bookings can be made by phone or through operator apps.
Common routes from the airport run to the Adelaide CBD, North Adelaide, Glenelg, and suburban hubs. The CBD trip is the most popular, while Glenelg is a shorter run via West Beach Road or Airport Road. Adelaide has no toll roads on these routes, so the meter total is not affected by toll charges.
