Montréal regulated taxi meter

Québec uses one meter tariff for trips starting during the day and a higher tariff for trips starting at night. Taxes are included in the published components; a $1.05 Québec levy is added to each trip.

How the meter works

Time or distance, depending on vehicle speed.

The CTQ tariff uses the per-minute rate when the taxi is moving below the transition speed and the per-kilometre rate when it is moving faster. TaxiRates uses route distance and current traffic to show a practical estimate range rather than pretending to reproduce the physical meter exactly.

01Trip start selects the tariff.

A trip starting at 10:59 p.m. uses the day tariff; a trip starting at 11:00 p.m. uses the night tariff.

02Low-speed time matters.

The meter changes from distance to time charging below the regulated transition speed.

03$1.05 levy.

The Québec trip levy is added after the regulated meter components.

Montréal–Trudeau Airport

YUL has its own downtown fare and minimums.

Between YUL and the defined downtown Montréal zone, the fare is fixed: $49.45 for daytime trip starts and $56.70 at night. Other YUL departures use the meter, with a published minimum of $21.65 by day or $24.75 at night.

$49.45 / $56.70

The flat fare does not cover all of Montréal.

The downtown zone is defined by street boundaries. TaxiRates auto-confirms exact named downtown destinations and addresses well inside the zone, while edge cases are held for boundary review instead of being guessed.
