When TaxiRates can calculate YXH
Medicine Hat Regional Airport sits inside Medicine Hat. For a taxi trip between YXH and an address inside the City, TaxiRates can use the verified Schedule E distance meter: $4.00 initial charge plus $0.20 per 100 metres, with GST included.
Actual waiting time remains a meter event. TaxiRates does not convert ordinary Google traffic delay into the City’s $0.57-per-minute waiting charge, so the final cab meter can be higher when the vehicle is actually stopped or waiting.
Scheduled airline service ended in June 2026
WestJet discontinued its scheduled Medicine Hat–Calgary passenger service on June 24, 2026. The airport remains open and active for charter, private, medevac and other aviation uses, and the City still lists taxi and ride-share transportation for airport users.
TaxiRates keeps the YXH page live because ground transportation remains relevant even without scheduled airline service. The page also provides a reliable fare reference if scheduled service returns.
Trips beyond the municipal boundary
Schedule E governs Medicine Hat taxi service inside the City. If an airport trip continues to another municipality or a rural address, TaxiRates will hold the automatic total until the applicable out-of-city arrangement is known rather than stretching the municipal meter beyond its verified jurisdiction.
For those trips, confirm the quoted fare with the taxi company before departure.
