trajan Posted September 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2023 A lot of the taxis in Victoria will try to charge a flat rate. Common one is $15 to the inner harbour, Empress area. Fare should be about $7 or 8. Heard of some really outrageous flat rates for trips to places like Butchart Gardens. Some drivers agree on a price and then at trips end demand it be in US dollars. By law all taxi trips in Victoria have to be on the meter. If a driver is being difficult take the next cab or call VicPD or CVSE (Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement). Just mention contacting either and the driver will usually straighten up. I grew up in Victoria and find it sad that many visitors first or last impression is a greedy cab driver. Uber is now allowed to operate in Victoria and that might be a better option. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
