Charlottetown Taxi Fares Explained
Taxi rides in Charlottetown are priced as flat rates by zone rather than by a standard meter reading. The official airport tariff sets the Charlottetown zone at $20, Stratford and Cornwall at $30, and any other area at $2.25 per kilometre.
A minimum fare of $20 applies, and an additional passenger heading to the same destination adds $5 per person (children under 12 ride free), up to a maximum of $10. In April 2025 the City of Charlottetown scrapped its taxi bylaw, so operators now set their own rates and face less city oversight.
