How are prices calculated?

Toronto taxi fares are regulated by the City of Toronto. Street taxis use a taximeter with an initial flag-drop fee plus a per-kilometre rate. Tolls on certain routes such as the Gardiner Expressway may be added. The Toronto Lux24 App solves this by providing a fixed, all-inclusive price upfront in CAD with no hidden charges.

2026 Taximeter Rates (Street Taxi — YYZ)

  • • Base fare: ~CA$4.25
  • • Per km rate: ~CA$1.90
  • • Per minute (waiting): ~CA$0.55
  • • HST (13%): applied to total fare
  • • Airport surcharge: ~CA$3.00 (fixed)

Street taxis are regulated by the City of Toronto. For airport transfers, fixed-price pre-booking via the Toronto Lux24 app eliminates uncertainty and is recommended.

Avoiding Hidden Fees

Always ensure the taximeter is reset and running if you take a street taxi. Be aware of airport surcharges, highway tolls, and HST (13%). The safest option is to pre-book with a fixed price — what you see is what you pay.
