How YXY taxi pricing works
Whitehorse’s current fare schedule sets a $4.50 maximum flag rate and, from January 1, 2026 onward, a maximum $0.35 for each one-ninth of a kilometre or 12 seconds. GST is included. TaxiRates uses the route and the meter’s distance/time structure to estimate an ordinary taxi trip rather than inventing a flat airport fare.
Airport-specific context
Whitehorse taxi service includes airport transportation, and the City regulates the industry through its Vehicle for Hire By-law. For a hotel trip, compare any quoted flat fare with the regulated maximum. For a home, business or other destination, use the exact street address so the route estimate reflects the actual distance.
Why TaxiRates keeps this rule separate
YXY is treated as its own airport context so the calculator can identify the correct local tariff, provider information and any special eligibility or transition rule without applying those conditions to unrelated trips in Whitehorse.

For trips that do not involve the airport, use the Whitehorse guide so airport-only facts do not clutter the local fare explanation.
