Taxi Fares & Payment Methods

All about taxi fares

Taxi fares in Singapore are determined independently by taxi companies. 

The LTA, together with the Public Transport Council, works with operators to ensure that certain aspects of fares remain standardised and easy to understand.

Payment modes 

You may pay with:  

Passengers are able to pay via cash, credit cards, NETS or CEPAS stored-value cards when traveling on a taxi

This is subject to the availability of these payment devices in the taxis. Cashless payment charges may apply.

Fares

The taxi fare structure has four main components: Flag-down fare, distance and time-based unit fares, surcharges, and booking fees.
