The City of Iqaluit increased taxi fares, effective May 1, 2026.
The standard fare changed from $9.50 to $9.75, with no change to the $8 fare for elders. Children under the age of 10 accompanied by an adult will continue to ride for free, according to a public service announcement issued by the City of Iqaluit.
In a social media post, Caribou Cabs said its drivers will continue to accept $9.50 vouchers with no additional charge until July 1. The city advised residents and businesses to contact Caribou Cabs before then to exchange any remaining $9.50 blue vouchers at market value.
The city said this rate adjustment follows the provisions outlined in Iqaluit’s taxi tariff bylaw. and reflects the city’s routine fare review process.
At least once it reaches $10 you won’t have to fight to get your change back. Crazy it’s 2026 and u still can’t pay by card.
