Vancouver Taxi Cabs, taxi, cost, Vancouver, airport, charging, meters, downtown, BCPassport. There are four taxi companies in Vancouver. If you're in a popular downtown area, you'll be able to find a taxi easily. If you aren't, it is probably best to call the cab company and request pick up. Cab meters start at either $2.30 or $2.40 and cost between $1.20 and $1.34 per km after that. However, if you're in traffic, the meter switches from charging by distance to charging by time. By time, taxis cost $24/hour or $6.00 for 15 minutes. Taxi rides in town generally cost between $5.00 and $10.00. MacLure's Cabs reports the lowest fares from the airport, but only by a couple of dollars.
