A pre-booked Brunswick Junction taxi to Perth Airport costs from $297 fixed for a private sedan and takes about 1 h 45 min for the 168 km trip. The fare is agreed before booking and includes GST, tolls and waiting time — there is no meter, no flag-fall and no surge pricing at any hour.
Brunswick Junction is a small dairy town on the old rail line, best known outside the district for the Brunswick Show each October. Pickups cover any address in town and the surrounding farms — the driver confirms the exact gate or house at booking rather than relying on a street number alone. Perth Airport is 168 km away, about 1 h 45 min by road.
Taxi supply in Brunswick Junction is thin and almost entirely pre-booked — a handful of local cars covering a whole district, with rideshare coverage that ranges from patchy to absent depending on the hour. Turning up expecting to find a car is how people miss flights here. Booking a fixed-price transfer in advance is the normal way locals do it, not the premium option.
PerthRide is a pre-booked private car service rather than a rank-and-hail taxi: there is no meter, no flag-fall and no surge multiplier. You give the pickup address and time, the fare is quoted and fixed before you accept it, and the same figure is what gets charged whether the trip runs at 4am on a public holiday or 2pm on a Tuesday.
Every Brunswick Junction job is arranged in advance with a named driver and a confirmed vehicle. Nothing depends on a car happening to be free when you walk outside.
The price is calculated from the actual route and agreed before booking. Traffic, detours and waiting inside the free period do not change it.
Public holidays, event nights, 3am swing departures and airport peaks are all charged at the standard fare — the multiplier that hits ride-hail apps does not exist here.
Sedan, premium sedan or a seven-seat people mover with full luggage capacity — chosen at booking from the passengers and bags you declare, not from whatever turns up.
| Vehicle | Capacity | One way, fixed |
|---|---|---|
| Private Sedan | Up to 3 passengers · 2–3 bags | $297 |
| Premium Sedan & SUV | Up to 3 passengers · 2–3 bags | $495 |
| People Mover | Up to 7 passengers · full luggage | $507 |
All fares are AUD, one way, and include GST, tolls, airport fees and standard waiting time. The same figures apply in both directions and at every hour — there is no night loading, holiday loading or surge.
“Driver was at T2 arrivals with a name board even though we landed 40 minutes late. Price didn’t change a cent.”

There is no meaningful taxi rank culture in Brunswick Junction — the district's cars work from bookings, and at busy times they are committed days ahead. PerthRide is pre-booked only, which is how transport in regional WA actually works: the vehicle is reserved for your trip when the booking is confirmed.
A private sedan from Brunswick Junction to Perth Airport is $297 fixed, confirmed at booking with GST, tolls and standard waiting time included. A premium sedan is $495 and a seven-seat people mover is $507; the 168 km trip takes about 1 h 45 min. There is no meter, so a slow run costs the same as a fast one.
Pre-dawn and overnight pickups from Brunswick Junction run at the standard fixed fare with no night loading — 2am and 3am departures are among the most common bookings on this route, and the price quoted for a midday trip is the same price charged at 3am.
A seven-seat people mover covers groups of up to seven with full luggage, quoted at $507 for the Perth Airport run — golf clubs, surfboards, prams, dive gear and cruise luggage all travel at no surcharge. Declare the load at booking and the right vehicle is assigned automatically.
Airport pickups include free waiting while your flight is tracked, so a delayed landing costs nothing extra. Elsewhere a short grace period applies before any waiting charge, and the driver contacts you rather than starting a clock silently.
