NEW TAXI FARES TO/FROM DIA TAKE EFFECT ON JULY 30

DENVER – New non-metered taxi fares between Denver International Airport (DIA) and three Denver-metro area zones take effect on July 30. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) approved the fare increases as part of recent changes to its transportation rules.

Under PUC rules, all taxi companies serving the Denver-metro area are required to offer a uniform, non-metered fare for trips between the airport and three zones – downtown, the Denver Tech Center, and Boulder. The non-metered airport rates have not changed since 1999.

As of Thursday, rates for trips between DIA and downtown Denver will increase from $43 to $51; between DIA and the Denver Tech Center will increase from $45 to $57; and rates between DIA and Boulder will go from $70 to $84. Any applicable airport gate fees may be added to the flat fare.

Metered rates, which apply to all other taxi fare situations, are set on a company-by-company basis and did not change.
