What a ride from Covington costs
Our meter starts at $2.50 and runs at $0.30 per eighth of a mile, which is $2.40 a mile. Additional passengers are $2.00 each, waiting is the first 5 minutes free, then $0.35 a minute ($21 an hour) if you ask the driver to wait and is never part of the trip fare, and no trip is charged below the $10.00 minimum. Here is how that works out for typical Covington journeys.
| Trip | Approximate fare | How it is priced |
|---|---|---|
| A short trip across town, about 5 miles | $14.50 | metered |
| A longer local run, about 12 miles | $31.30 | metered |
| Hartsfield-Jackson airport, about 39 miles | $85.00 | flat rate, sedan |
Two ways a trip is priced. Atlanta airport runs are flat from Conyers ($65) and Covington ($85). Everywhere else, including Covington, runs on the meter above and is quoted before you book, so you still know the number in advance.
Sedan, one passenger, approximate. Rates current as of 20 August 2026 and subject to change. Your exact price is confirmed before the ride. Check your own trip or see the full rate card.

Covington questions
How much is a taxi from Covington to Atlanta airport?
The flat rate is $85 one way in a sedan, agreed before you travel rather than metered. It covers the whole run, roughly 50 miles, and does not change if I-20 is slow.
Can you collect from the Covington film sets or the square?
Yes. Pickups on the square and around the historic district are routine for us, including evening finishes. Give us a meeting point when you book, because the square gets busy and closed off during filming.
Do you offer taxi service in Covington, GA?
Yes. We are based in Conyers, about ten miles west, and Covington is part of our regular service area for local rides, scheduled transportation and airport runs.
How far is Covington from Hartsfield-Jackson airport?
Roughly 50 miles, usually an hour door to door depending on I-20 and the connector. We quote that trip as a fixed price before you book.
Do you have an office in Covington?
No. We are based in Conyers and drive to Covington, so bookings are made by phone or online rather than at a counter.
Can I arrange a regular weekly ride in Covington?
Yes. Regular journeys can be booked in advance so the car is arranged before the day, priced the same way as any other trip.
Do you cover Oxford, Porterdale and Social Circle?
Yes, along with the rest of Newton County. If your address is nearby but not listed, call and ask, because we almost certainly cover it.
