Taxi rates in Orlando

Taxi meters follow rates set by City of Orlando Vehicle-for-Hire Administrator (rates adopted by City Council resolution under City Code Sec. 55.16). They do not surge, which makes a taxi worth checking when ride apps are busy.

Initial charge	$2.90
Each mile	$3.06
Each minute stopped or in slow traffic	$0.58

Last checked October 11, 2026. The City's rate resolution could not be located, so these come from an aggregator (base $2.90, $3.06 per mile, $35 per hour waiting, listed as valid since January 2024); TaxiFareFinder (March 2024) still shows the older $2.40 for the first 1/4 mile plus $0.60 per 1/4 mile, and the airport's own $38 to $45 downtown estimate fits the newer figures better.
