What people ask
How many people fit in a maxi taxi?
A maxi taxi seats up to eleven passengers with luggage space, which makes it the right choice for group airport transfers, family trips and nights out where one vehicle beats three.
Is a maxi taxi more expensive than a normal taxi?
A maxi carries a surcharge over a sedan, but for a group it is usually cheaper overall. Five people in one maxi normally costs less than the same five people in two sedans, and everyone arrives together.
Can I book a maxi taxi to Melbourne Airport?
Yes, and it is one of the most common maxi bookings. Select maxi taxi when booking, add your flight number, and there is room for a bag each without anyone holding luggage on their lap.
How do I get a fixed quote for a maxi taxi?
Call 0405 678 001, email info@13melbournetaxi.com.au or send the trip through our fixed quote form with the pickup, drop off, date, time and how many people are travelling, and we will agree a fixed fare for the maxi before you travel. The fare calculator gives an instant estimate if you only need a guide.
Do I need to book a maxi taxi in advance?
It helps. There are fewer maxi vehicles than sedans on the road, so booking ahead is the reliable way to get one at a specific time, particularly for early airport runs.
