Why is it better?

Convenient,
without the squeeze.

Rideshare made ordering a car effortless. It also made pricing a black box. The apps work out the most you’re willing to pay for a trip and the least a driver will accept to do it, then keep the gap.

We’re not reinventing the status quo. Taxis are a regulated business, with metered fares, licensed drivers and local operators. austaxis gives that good old-fashioned model a facelift, not a replacement.

Australia is huge, and outside the cities taxis are the public transport. We want regional Australians to have the modern convenience of ordering online, without the opaque, predatory pricing that rideshare practises.

The meter sets the fare.Regulated state tariffs, published and the same for everyone. No surge pricing.
The fare stays local.Operators pay a flat subscription and 2%. The rest goes to the business and driver in your town.
Your local operator stays in charge.The licensed business you already know runs the fleet. We supply the tools.

A small fee. A bigger local share.

Where does the
money go?

Local operators run the cars. Local drivers do the driving. We’re the middleman connecting the trip, with a visible 2% platform fee on online-paid fares.

More of the fare
stays with your local operator.

We’re building a lower-cost alternative to traditional taxi networks. Less spent on the middleman leaves more room for fair fares, sustainable driver pay and strong local businesses.

The operator’s balance is before the $500/month subscription, payout and account fees, other applicable pass-through costs and operating expenses. It isn’t profit or driver take-home pay. Processing assumes an Australian domestic card; other payment methods can cost more.

The full picture matters. Savings against a traditional provider depend on their fees, your fleet and your fare volume. Cash and Cabcharge fares attract no austaxis per-fare fee; the subscription still applies.

Built for the places we call home

A better ride shouldn’t
depend on your postcode.

Regional towns deserve a taxi experience that feels as connected as the city. Local drivers already have the knowledge, the licences and the relationships. We’re building the tools to bring it all online.

Our starting point is regional Queensland. Our ambition is a simpler way to order a licensed taxi, wherever in Australia you call home.

A few things worth knowing

Before you head out.

Is a fare estimate a booking?

No. The calculator gives an indication of cost using the regional Queensland tariff. It doesn’t reserve a taxi, confirm availability or take a payment.

Why might the final fare be different?

Traffic waiting, tolls, airport charges and operator policies can change the price. The estimate includes GST and assumes three minutes waiting at each extra stop. Local show-day holidays aren’t included. Always confirm your fare with the operator.

Where can I use the calculator?

The current tariff is for regional Queensland, effective 1 July 2026. It isn’t suitable for south-east Queensland or other states. Address suggestions are Queensland-wide, so check that your trip is in a regional tariff area.

Can I book a wheelchair-accessible taxi?

Accessible bookings are part of the planned service. Contact your local operator for availability. Wheelchair passengers use the standard fare, not the example high-occupancy surcharge shown for maxi trips.
