One vehicle, up to eleven people, one fixed price
Splitting a group across two or three separate cars to get to Melbourne Airport costs more, and it almost always means someone arrives late. A maxi taxi, or maxi cab, keeps everyone together, keeps the luggage with the people it belongs to, and gives you one price agreed before you travel.
Our maxi cabs seat up to eleven passengers with room for luggage, which is the same job a minibus airport transfer does, in a licensed taxi rather than a charter vehicle. They are the practical option for families travelling together, sporting groups, corporate teams heading to the same flight, and anyone moving a lot of bags.
What a maxi taxi or maxi cab costs
A maxi is priced the same way as every other vehicle we run: a flag fall, a rate per kilometre and the toll, all worked out on the real driving distance to the terminal. The only difference is a fixed maxi surcharge of $17.80 on top.
That surcharge does not change with distance. On a short run from Essendon it is the same $17.80 as it is on a long run from Geelong, so the further you travel the smaller it is as a share of the total. Compared with booking two separate cars, a maxi is almost always cheaper.
Here is what that works out to on four real routes, straight from the same fare engine the booking form above uses. The range covers the toll and the time of day.
- Melbourne CBD to Melbourne Airport, 22.7 km, $79 to $97.
- Tarneit to Melbourne Airport, 30.9 km, $91 to $111.
- Clayton to Melbourne Airport, 47.2 km, $139 to $170.
- Berwick to Melbourne Airport, 70 km, $190 to $232.
Those are for the whole vehicle, not per person. Split between eight passengers the CBD run works out around $11 a head, which is less than the SkyBus fare and it drops you at your own door. Put your pickup address into the form above and the exact figure comes back before you book.
When to book one
- Families of five or more. Prams, car seats and checked bags all fit in one vehicle rather than being split up.
- Groups with a lot of luggage. Skis, golf clubs, instruments and oversized cases need boot space that a sedan does not have.
- Corporate teams on the same flight. Everyone arrives together, and the whole trip goes on one Cabcharge transaction rather than several.
- Early morning departures. One pickup at one address beats coordinating three drivers at 4am.
Booking ahead matters for a maxi
We have sedans available at short notice almost all the time. Maxi vehicles are a smaller part of the fleet, so they need to be allocated to your trip in advance. For an early morning flight we recommend booking the day before. For a group of eight or more, give us as much notice as you can.
Add your flight number when you book and we track it at no extra cost. If your flight lands early or runs late, your driver is already working to the new time.

Great car service always on time with great cars and lovely drivers always happy to recommend to all my colleagues and family.
Great service from Deep and colleagues, have been using to them for airport drop off and pick ups for a while. Cars are clean and new. Highly recommend.
I commute to Melbourne for work and always use Deep Taxi Services. They only use hi end cars which are always spotless with friendly polite drivers. You can book at the last minute any time and they are there within minutes. No waiting in the Taxi or Uber lines, pick up is from the first level at Melbourne airport. Many of my fares are short trips ( which is cause for aggression / angst with both regular cabs and Uber drivers), it’s no problem with Deep. Have recommended them to all my friends, couldn’t be happier with their service.
The service provided by Deep and his colleagues is first class. They are reliable, efficient, safe and friendly. They are the go-to car service for me and my family, that we have been using for many years. Paul
I travel almost weekly for work to and from the Airport to Hawthorn East. I have been using this company now (Prabh, Sherry, Deep and co) for well over a year and never once had a bad or even average experience, they are always so responsive, professional and just great guys in general! Several times I have needed a car (or 2 for work colleagues from SYD) at very short notice and they have arrived within minutes with immediate confirmation as always. On top of that their cars are always spotless and very comfortable. I recommend all my work colleagues from Sydney to use this company and they are equally as impressed. Out of the 100 lifts their service has been flawless. Don’t use anyone else in Melbourne!
Exceptional service. Always on time, and booking is a breeze, Communication is fantastic. I’m told exactly what car (make, model and rego) will be picking me up and from where, very handy especially for airport travel. Everyone is so friendly and polite and the vehicles are immaculate. Highly recommend.
Very professional Great Service. Used Taxi service from Tarneit to Melbourne Airport and return with Deep. It was super comfortable and very easy. Our driver was at the pick up point at airport before we arrived, so no queue for taxi☺️. Great service and will definitely recommend others
We always have very pleasant experience with the fleet. They are reliable, punctual and friendly. Booking is so easy. The cars are always clean and comfortable. Very pleased with their service.
Booked an airport pickup from Keysborough and everything went perfectly. The driver was punctual, professional, and the ride was comfortable. Made getting to the airport easy and stress-free.
Amazing service from tullamarine to seymour and the car was very nice to sit in and the driver was very friendly :)
