I had a similar experience last summer. I'm not from there myself,I only go a couple of times a year for work. I often need to quickly take care of business and get back home. For a long time, I couldn't find a decent taxi without exorbitant prices. Then, a friend advised me to check out options like
Taxi Bundaberg on GetTransfer. It was a real relief because you can see the exact price in advance and choose a car, and it really helped me avoid surprises. I know from my own experience that in Bundaberg there really are hidden surcharges in standard services, and when you know the cost in advance, it's easier to plan your budget and your trip.
