The Problem With Metered Taxis

Sound familiar? Here's why Perth locals are switching from Swan Taxis and 13 Cabs

"The meter kept climbing in traffic"

You're stuck in peak-hour traffic on the Mitchell Freeway, watching the meter tick up every 30 seconds. A $40 trip becomes $65. No warning, no control.

Maali Solution

Fixed fares that never change. Traffic jam? Roadworks? Detour? Your price stays locked in from the moment you book.

"I had no idea what I'd pay until the end"

Booking a taxi to the airport shouldn't feel like a gamble. But with metered fares, every trip is a mystery until you reach your destination.

Maali Solution

Know your exact fare before you step in the car. We show you the price upfront — $55 to the CBD, every single time.

"My flight was delayed and I got charged waiting time"

Flight delayed 2 hours? With metered taxis, that waiting time gets expensive fast. Some charge $1+ per minute just sitting at the airport.

Maali Solution

We track your flight in real-time. Delayed? We adjust automatically. 15 minutes of free waiting time included. No extra charges, ever.

"I waited 20 minutes on hold to book"

Phone queues, busy signals, and call centres that don't know Perth. Booking a taxi shouldn't require patience of a saint.

Maali Solution

Book online in 30 seconds, WhatsApp us for instant chat, or call 0420 780 786 and speak to a local — no queues, no robots.

"The driver took the long way and I paid for it"

Unfamiliar with Perth's shortcuts? Some drivers take scenic routes that pad the meter. You're paying for their lack of local knowledge.

Maali Solution

Our drivers are Perth locals who know every shortcut. Plus, with fixed fares, the route doesn't matter — your price never changes.

"Friday night surge made it double the price"

Peak times, events, and weekends can turn a simple ride into an expensive ordeal. Metered taxis and ride-shares both spike when demand is high.

Maali Solution

No surge pricing. Ever. Friday at midnight, New Year's Eve, Grand Final day — your fixed fare stays exactly the same. Guaranteed.

Switched to Maali? They Love It

Real Perth locals who made the switch from metered taxis

Switched from Swan Taxis

"I used to take Swan Taxis to the airport every week for work. The meter always stressed me out — would it be $50 or $70? Switched to Maali and it's $55 every single time. Plus the driver knows my name now. Never going back."

Switched from 13 Cabs

"Booked Maali for a 5am airport run after a bad experience with 13 Cabs no-showing. Driver was early, car was spotless, and I knew the price before I got in. The WhatsApp booking is a game changer too."

Switched from Uber

"Got sick of Uber surge pricing on Friday nights. Maali's fixed fare means I know exactly what I'm paying, even at 2am. And the drivers are actual locals who know where they're going."
