Distance, traffic and the trip-start tariff.
TaxiRates uses the mapped driving route for distance and estimated travel time. The Québec taxi meter switches between distance and low-speed time rather than charging the full kilometre and full waiting rate simultaneously, so the result is shown as an estimate range rather than a guaranteed final meter reading.
Use the best available fare before the trip.
For trips starting in Granby, TaxiRates applies Québec’s regulated day or night tariff. If a route matches a published airport flat fare, that flat fare takes priority. Otherwise the regulated meter is used before any broader fallback estimate.
The final fare can differ because of traffic, waiting, route changes, stops, lawful pre-arranged pricing or other trip-specific conditions. TaxiRates is a planning service, not the taxi operator, so the number is intended to help travellers understand the likely fare before booking or hailing a cab.
Common questions about Granby taxi fares.
What is the daytime taxi rate?
The current regulated rate starts at $4.10, then uses $2.05 per kilometre or $0.77 per minute at low speed, plus the $1.05 trip levy.
What is the nighttime taxi rate?
For trips beginning from 11:00 p.m. through 4:59 a.m., the starting amount is $4.70 with $2.35 per kilometre or $0.89 per minute at low speed, plus the $1.05 levy.
Does TaxiRates show distance and travel time?
Yes. When route data is available, the result includes the mapped driving distance and estimated trip time together with the fare estimate.
What if a flat fare exists?
A matching published flat fare is shown before the meter estimate. This is especially important for airport trips such as YUL and YQB where special rules can apply.
