Verified airport meter

Lloydminster Municipal Airport (YLL) taxi fare calculator.

Lloydminster confirms YLL is within city limits, so TaxiRates can use the municipal Schedule C taxi meter for airport trips. The calculator is date-aware: it uses the 2025–2027 meter now and switches to the already-published 2028+ schedule for future trips.

YLL is inside Lloydminster, so the City meter applies.

The City publishes both the 2025–2027 and 2028+ taxi schedules. TaxiRates selects the correct one from the trip date instead of guessing an airport surcharge.

Why YLL can be calculated directly

The City of Lloydminster’s Seniors Taxi Program answers the jurisdiction question explicitly: Lloydminster Municipal Airport is located within city limits. The airport’s own ground-transportation page also lists multiple taxi companies, including Co-op Taxi Lloydminster, Kings Cabs, Lloyd Taxi, Taxi FilCanadian and Yellow Cabs. That means TaxiRates does not need to invent an out-of-city surcharge or treat the airport as a separate fare zone.

For a normal YLL-to-Lloydminster trip, the City’s Taxi and Vehicle for Hire By-law supplies the meter. The exact fare still depends on the route distance and any real waiting time, but the regulatory formula is clear enough for a calculator.

Current meter

YLL fares through the end of 2027

For dates in 2025, 2026 or 2027, Schedule C sets the taxi meter at $3.75 for the first 117 metres, then $0.25 for every additional 117 metres. Waiting time is $60 per hour. TaxiRates calculates the route using those distance increments and does not manufacture waiting charges from a normal driving ETA.

The by-law also permits a $10 flat charge for a van or truck and a cleaning fee in specified circumstances. Those are conditional extras rather than part of every airport taxi fare, so the standard calculator leaves them out. A passenger requesting a larger vehicle should confirm whether the optional vehicle charge applies.

Future dates

What changes at YLL in 2028

The same by-law already publishes the meter for 2028 and later. The initial fare becomes $4.00 for the first 110 metres, each additional 110 metres costs $0.25, and waiting stays $60 per hour. TaxiRates reads the date selected in the trip form and switches at the start of 2028.

That date-aware treatment is especially useful for advance airport planning because users may search or book well before the travel year. Rather than showing today’s tariff for a future trip, the result can use the schedule the City has already enacted. Any later amendment would supersede this rule and should trigger a new verification pass.

Booking a taxi

Airport pickup practicalities

YLL’s official ground-transportation page provides several local taxi choices rather than one exclusive provider. Passengers can contact the operator that best fits their timing and vehicle needs. The fare regulation is municipal, but dispatch availability, accessible vehicles, luggage capacity and advance reservations are company-level questions.

For a standard trip, the City meter provides the pricing baseline. If the itinerary leaves Lloydminster or includes unusual stops, ask the dispatcher whether any additional arrangement applies. TaxiRates will continue to show the verified City formula for the portion it can defend rather than attaching an unverified generic airport fee.
