Taxicabs Passenger Information

• Passengers should make sure the driver is a registered chauffeur with Miami-Dade County and the vehicle is properly licensed.
• There must be a decal and/or license number on the exterior of the vehicle, and the driver's picture and registration number must be displayed on the vehicle dashboard.
• Taxicabs that pick-up passengers in Miami-Dade County shall have and utilize a SunPass device where the toll is fixed. Where the "SunPass Only" or "SunPass Express" toll is not fixed, the chauffeur shall determine whether the passenger desires to use the "SunPass Only" or "SunPass Express" lane and comply with the wishes of the passenger.
• There is no additional charge for wheelchair transportation, service animal, baggage charge, infant/toddler car seats, or per passenger/additional passengers.

On July 19, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the attached Resolution R-700-22 revising the established maximum taxicab rates. The Resolution provides the following changes:

• The metered rate is calculated at:
  • $2.95 for first 1/6 of a mile.
  • $0.85 for each additional 1/6 mile until 1 mile.
  • $0.55 for each 1/6 mile after that.
  • $0.40 per minute ($24 per hour) wait charge. No additional charge for extra passengers or luggage.
• All flat fare rates are eliminated. The meter rate applies now to all trips. This also applies to taxicabs providing services under the Airport Regional Taxicab Service (ARTS/Blue Cabs) Program.
• The ARTS program will continue but passengers will be charged the meter rate instead of a flat fare.
• A 30 percent surcharge above the taxicab meter rate is established for larger vehicles (sport utility vehicles and vans). This surcharge does not apply to wheelchair accessible vehicles providing taxicab services to wheelchair users. Vehicles authorized to charge the 30 percent surcharge shall display a 30 percent surcharge decal inside the vehicle.

A minimum fare of $15 is established for trips originated at MIA or the Port of Miami, regardless of what the meter reading shows. If the meter shows a number greater than $15.00, then the greater number shown on the meter shall be paid.

Submit a complaint about a taxi driver or cab by using the Taxi Complaint Form. If you feel you were overcharged and are demanding a refund, either full or partial, you should use the For-Hire Transportation Complaint Form.

All wheelchair accessible taxicabs are modified and equipped to facilitate the transportation of wheelchairs and other vehicles used by persons with mobility impairments. Additionally, drivers are trained and certified in the safe and proper methods of securing and transporting passengers who use wheelchairs.

There is no additional surcharge to wheelchair users for the use of a wheelchair accessible taxicab.
