Regulated Rates
Taxi rates are regulated by the Passenger Transportation Board and are identical for all taxi companies that operate in the Lower Mainland. Below is a chart that summarizes the fares. You can easily estimate how much your fare should cost by multiplying the kilometer rate by number of kilometers, then adding $3.20 for the meter drop. Do keep in mind that this will only be an estimate; extras and waiting times will need to be adjusted into the fare price.
Royal City Taxi gladly accepts Cash, Debit, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Taxi Savers, and Royal City Taxi Gift Certificates.
