Taxi coverage within 300 km of Perth, WA
Bunbury, York, Lancelin and the Margaret River edge — regional jobs with a fare that already includes getting the car home.
About 300 km from Perth is the band where a “taxi” is still the right word, but the quote has to pay for empty kilometres back to metro. Quick Taxis Perth prices Bunbury, Harvey, Collie, York, Northam, Lancelin, Cervantes, Jurien Bay, Busselton and Margaret River that way — one number before you book, sedan or 10-seater maxi. Peel and hills towns closer in belong on the 200 km page. Albany, Geraldton, Esperance and the Pilbara are long-distance because they blow past this radius.
Why these jobs are quoted, not metered
A meter to Bunbury or Lancelin punishes traffic and does not pay the return. We quote round-trip driver time up front. Waiting in town for a short appointment can be added; overnight stays are usually a separate pickup so you are not hiring a car and a hotel for the driver by accident.
What sits outside 300 km
Geraldton (~420 km), Albany (~415 km), Esperance and FIFO hubs in the Pilbara use the long-distance taxi page. Sample sedan figures live there (for example Perth–Bunbury is listed as a long-distance sample even though Bunbury also appears here as the south-west flagship). If you are unsure which page to use, send the town name — we will not double-charge two products.
South-west — Bunbury, Harvey and the forests
Bunbury is about two hours on the Forrest Highway. Harvey, Waroona, Collie and Dwellingup are the same dispatch desk with a fixed quote that already includes the empty return.
Margaret River edge and Geographe
Busselton and Dunsborough sit inside this band. Margaret River is the outer edge of 300 km — still quoted here; Albany and further south use the long-distance page.
Wheatbelt — York, Northam and Toodyay
York, Northam, Toodyay, Beverley and Gingin are weekday medical and weekend event runs as often as airport connections. You get a fare before the car leaves Perth.
Lancelin coast and the Indian Ocean Drive
Lancelin, Guilderton, Cervantes and Jurien Bay are lobster-season and long-weekend jobs. Book the night before in peak summer; we still quote a fixed fare, not a meter that crawls up the coast.
