A pre-booked Redcliffe taxi to Perth Airport costs from $47 fixed for a private sedan and takes about 2 min for the 1 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.
Redcliffe shares a fence with Perth Airport and now carries the Airport Line’s first station, which makes it a natural base for early departures and late arrivals. Ten minutes to any terminal means a booking here is about certainty rather than distance — a confirmed car at 3:40am rather than a rideshare that may or may not accept the fare. Perth Airport is 1 km away, about 2 min by road.
Redcliffe is inside Perth's metro rideshare footprint, so a car at midday is rarely a problem. Pre-dawn is the different story: acceptance rates fall away before 5am, surge multipliers apply on event nights, and neither a rank nor an app will hold a car for a flight that lands late. Pre-booking fixes the price and the vehicle in advance.
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 Redcliffe 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 | $47 |
| Premium Sedan & SUV | Up to 3 passengers · 2–3 bags | $78 |
| People Mover | Up to 7 passengers · full luggage | $73 |
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.”

“3:45am pickup, every swing, never once late. My site admin put the whole crew on an account after the first month.”

Street hailing is unreliable across almost all of Perth outside the CBD and the airport ranks, and Redcliffe is no exception — cars are dispatched to bookings rather than cruising for fares. PerthRide is pre-booked only: you set the pickup address and time and a specific vehicle is assigned to it.
A private sedan from Redcliffe to Perth Airport is $47 fixed, confirmed at booking with GST, tolls and standard waiting time included. A premium sedan is $78 and a seven-seat people mover is $73; the 1 km trip takes about 2 min. There is no meter, so a slow run costs the same as a fast one.
Pre-dawn and overnight pickups from Redcliffe 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 $73 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.
