The
taxi-cab industry and its fares and charges are regulated by the
Victorian
Government.
Payment Options
Upon completion of a journey the customer is obligated to
pay the metered fare plus any tolls or additional charges.
The fare can be paid through the use of the EFTPOS terminal
in the vehicle, using debit and selected, credit and charge
cards, Multipurpose
Taxi Program or by cash.
Your driver has the right to request from you proof of payment
prior to the commencement of your journey.
A wise idea is to check with your driver prior to the commencement
of your journey as to an acceptable method of payment.

EFTPOS offers convenient and safe way for customers to pay
fares and for drivers to collect them.
