Taxi fares and booking from Swan Hill: what to know
Every metered trip from Swan Hill is charged on the Victorian government-set taxi tariff — a flag fall plus a per-kilometre rate that changes between the day, night and peak periods. The fare calculator on this page applies the correct tariff for the pickup time you enter, so you see the estimate before you book.
Because Swan Hill is roughly 330 km from Melbourne Airport, most passengers take a fixed price agreed at booking rather than the meter. The total is locked in before departure and does not move if the highway slows.
Wheelchair accessible vehicles and MPTP-subsidised fares are available on request — call 0421 807 027 rather than booking online so the right vehicle is allocated. Card, EFTPOS, cash and Cabcharge are all accepted, with a receipt on request.
We also cover Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, Wodonga, Wangaratta, Benalla and the surrounding areas from the same 24-hour dispatch, so a return trip or a multi-stop booking can be arranged at the same time.
