The physical meter switches between distance and low-speed time.
Québec’s regulated meter does not simply add the full per-kilometre charge and the full hourly waiting charge together. Above the tariff’s transition speed it follows distance; below that speed it follows elapsed time. TaxiRates uses mapped distance and traffic information to model that structure rather than double-counting a normal trip.
The tariff is selected from the time the trip begins. Day pricing applies from 5:00 a.m. through 10:59 p.m.; night pricing applies from 11:00 p.m. through 4:59 a.m.
Taximeter use is required in this market.
The airport lists regular taxi service by Coopérative de Mont-Joli. The CTQ taximeter decision includes La Mitis, where Mont-Joli is located.
YYY is also used for trips beyond Mont-Joli. The airport says it is about 35 km from Rimouski and 65 km from Matane, so destination choice can change the estimate substantially.
Use the actual address, especially for airport and regional trips.
TaxiRates applies the regulated meter to the actual route. It does not treat third-party approximate shuttle or per-person figures as an official taxi flat fare unless an authoritative source publishes that rule.
TaxiRates is an estimate, not a taxi booking. Traffic below the meter transition speed, an agreed contract price, a technology-based maximum quote, stops or other legally permitted circumstances can make the final amount different from a simple route calculation.
