Maxi Cab Booking Melbourne — Up to 11 Passengers

Our maxi cabs seat up to 11 passengers comfortably, with luggage space for everyone. The vehicles we use are typically Toyota HiAce Commuter or equivalent, which have three rows of seating plus additional foldable seats and generous rear cargo space. For a family of 5 with airport luggage, a maxi cab is the practical choice over two separate sedans. For a group of 8 or more, a maxi cab means the group travels together, arrives together, and pays one fixed fare rather than coordinating two or three separate bookings. If your group is over 11 passengers, call us on 0422 333 880 and we can arrange multiple vehicles travelling together.

Yes. Maxi cab airport transfers are one of our most popular booking types. We cover Melbourne Airport at Tullamarine, Avalon Airport, and Essendon Airport. The fixed fare from the Melbourne CBD to Tullamarine in a maxi cab is $81, which includes all tolls. From Dandenong it is $106, and from Frankston it is $121. For airport pickups, we track your flight and the 30-minute free waiting time starts when your flight lands, not the scheduled arrival time, so the group has time to collect luggage and come through arrivals at a normal pace. The driver will be in the terminal with a name board.

For standard Melbourne metro trips, booking a few hours ahead is usually sufficient. For airport transfers, we recommend booking the day before, and for early morning airport departures before 6 am, booking the night before is strongly advised. Peak periods like school holidays, major sporting events, and the Christmas and New Year period see higher demand for maxi cabs, so booking 24 to 48 hours ahead during those times ensures vehicle availability. For last-minute bookings, call us directly on 0422 333 880 rather than booking online — we can check availability immediately and confirm in real time.

All maxi cab fares are fixed and confirmed before your trip begins. You receive a quoted price at the time of booking and that is what you pay at the end of the trip — no meter running, no surge pricing, no surprise tolls added at the end. The fixed fare includes all road tolls such as CityLink and EastLink where the route passes through them. GST is included. The only addition that may apply is a night surcharge of 20% if your pickup falls between 10 pm and 4 am, and that is disclosed at the time of booking, not added later.

Yes. Maxi cabs operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all Victorian public holidays such as Australia Day, Easter, AFL Grand Final Friday, Melbourne Cup Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. There is no public holiday surcharge added on top of the standard fare. The 20% night surcharge applies if your pickup falls between 10 pm and 4 am regardless of day of the week or public holiday status, but beyond that the fare is the same as any other day. For major event days and New Year's Eve, booking at least 24 hours in advance is recommended as demand is higher.

Yes. Maxi vans have significantly more cargo space than a standard sedan or SUV. The rear cargo area suits multiple large suitcases, golf bags, surfboards, ski gear, prams, portable cots, and other oversized items. For airport trips with a large group, the boot typically accommodates one large suitcase per person for a group of 6 to 8. If you have an unusually large load, mention it at the time of booking so we can confirm the vehicle configuration. There is no luggage fee — the fare covers the route regardless of what you are carrying.

Our standard maxi vans are not wheelchair accessible in terms of ramp or hoist equipment. They have standard sliding doors and step-up entry, which is manageable for many people but not suitable for those who remain in their wheelchair during transit. If you or someone in your group uses a wheelchair, call us on 0422 333 880 to discuss your specific needs. For NDIS or TAC transport where wheelchair accessibility is required, we can advise on our NDIS and TAC transport services where purpose-built vehicles are available.
