Sault Ste. Marie taxi rates, explained.

Sault Ste. Marie regulates ordinary taxi fares by meter. The current by-law gives a $3.90 first 0.1 km minimum and a $0.10 distance increment expressed as a permitted distance range, so TaxiRates keeps this as a fare guide instead of collapsing the range into one made-up kilometre rate.

Municipal tariff

Verified meter terms

Tariff B applies to ordinary taxicabs within Sault Ste. Marie and up to five kilometres beyond the city limits. The by-law includes applicable taxes in the published rates.

Important distinction

The $30 airport fare is not the standard taxi fare

Tariff D sets a $30 one-way fare to or from Sault Ste. Marie Airport for passengers requiring enhanced wheelchair or ambulatory service. TaxiRates keeps that rule separate from ordinary metered taxi service.

TaxiRates rule

Distance range stays a range

Because the by-law expresses the additional $0.10 charge across a distance range, TaxiRates will not choose one endpoint and present it as the official per-kilometre tariff.
