Silver Cabs Melbourne provides professional airport taxi service across the city and surrounding suburbs — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We offer fixed fare transfers with no hidden charges, fully licensed drivers, and a fleet covering solo travellers through to groups of ten.
How Our Airport Transfer Service Works
Getting to or from Tullamarine should be the least stressful part of your trip. Here is exactly how it works from the moment you book to the moment you arrive.
You call us or book online. We confirm your driver, vehicle type, and pickup time immediately. On the day of travel, your driver arrives at your door on time not approximately on time, actually on time. For departures, we plan around real traffic conditions on the Tullamarine Freeway so you reach the terminal with time to spare. For arrivals, we monitor your flight live so your driver adjusts automatically if your landing is early or delayed.
No rank queues. No surge pricing. No last-minute cancellations. Just a confirmed, professional driver who shows up exactly when they are supposed to.
Travelling to the Airport — Departures
When you need a taxi to Melbourne Airport, the last thing you want is to be chasing a ride at 4 AM or dealing with a cancelled app booking thirty minutes before you need to leave. Our departure transfer service removes all of that completely.
Your driver is assigned at the time of booking — not randomly matched when you open an app on the morning of travel. We know your suburb, your pickup time, and your flight details before the day even begins. Whether you are leaving from the CBD, an inner suburb, or a regional area like Wallan, Sunbury, or Werribee we plan your pickup around actual drive times to the terminal, not optimistic estimates. Every departure runs on a fixed price rate locked in at booking. Tolls and all associated fees are already included. Nothing is added at the end of the trip.
Arriving in Melbourne — Pickup From the Terminal
Stepping off a long flight and facing the chaos of a busy rank is nobody’s idea of a good start. Our taxi from Melbourne Airport to city and suburban pickup service is built around making arrivals genuinely simple.
We track your incoming flight. If it lands early, your driver adjusts. If it is delayed, your driver waits — without charging you extra for an airline running late. Once you collect your bags and walk out of arrivals, your driver is already there.
For passengers who want a more personal welcome, our meet and greet service places your driver inside the arrivals area holding a sign with your name. No searching through crowds, no confusion about where to go — particularly useful for first-time visitors or late-night arrivals. Whether you need a taxi from Melbourne Airport to CBD, a drop-off in the suburbs, or a transfer all the way to a regional area north or west of the city — we cover it door to door.
Why Booking in Advance Makes All the Difference
Walk-up cabs at the terminal are available — but they come with queues, unpredictable wait times, and no guaranteed vehicle type. Pre-booking your taxi to Melbourne Airport changes the entire experience.
Your vehicle is confirmed before travel day. Your fare is fixed and agreed upfront. Your driver is allocated in advance. And if anything changes with your flight, you call us directly on 03 8714 3651 — not an automated system — and we handle it immediately. For early morning departures, late-night arrivals, group travel, and regional pickups from areas like Wallan, Kilmore, and Sunbury — booking ahead is not just convenient, it is the difference between a smooth trip and a stressful one.
Fleet Options for Every Airport Transfer
Not every run to Tullamarine looks the same. A solo business traveller and a family of six with full luggage have very different needs. Here is what we have available:
- Standard Cab — Up to 4 passengers with standard luggage. The right choice for everyday airport runs — solo travellers, couples, and small groups on straightforward trips.
- Premium Cab — Up to 4 passengers. An executive-grade ride for corporate travellers and client pickups where comfort and presentation matter from the moment of pickup.
- SUV — 4 to 6 passengers with significantly more luggage capacity. The practical choice for families and small groups who need the extra boot space without booking two separate vehicles.
- Maxi Taxi — Up to 10 passengers. Our most requested vehicle for group airport transfers — one car, one driver, everyone and all luggage together. Pre-booking is essential during peak travel periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a taxi to Melbourne Airport?
You can book online through our website or call us directly on 03 8714 3651. We are available 24 hours a day to take your booking. Advance booking is always recommended — it confirms your vehicle type, locks in your fixed fare, and guarantees your driver is allocated before travel day. Same-day bookings are also accepted subject to availability.
How much is a taxi from Melbourne Airport?
All our transfers are offered at a fixed fare agreed at the time of booking — inclusive of tolls and all fees. The exact fare depends on your pickup suburb and vehicle type. Because fares are fixed, the amount quoted when you book is the exact amount you pay on arrival — no meter running, no surge pricing, no end-of-trip surprises.
How do I get picked up from Melbourne Airport after landing?
Once you collect your luggage and exit arrivals, your driver will be waiting at the designated pickup point. If you have selected meet and greet, your driver will be inside the arrivals area holding a sign with your name. We track all incoming flights so your driver is already adjusted to your actual landing time before you even reach the baggage carousel.
Can I pre-book my transfer from Melbourne Airport in advance?
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. You can secure your ride days, weeks, or months ahead. Advance booking guarantees your vehicle, fixes your fare, and ensures your driver is confirmed well before travel day. This is especially important for early morning flights, large group transfers, and peak holiday periods.
Do you provide group transfers to Melbourne Airport?
Yes. Our Maxi Taxi seats up to 10 passengers and is our most popular vehicle for group flight transfers. One vehicle, one driver, all passengers and luggage together — far more practical and often more cost-effective than booking multiple separate cabs. Pre-booking well in advance is essential during school holidays and long weekends.
Do you cover Wallan and Sunbury for airport transfers?
Yes. We regularly run taxi Wallan to Melbourne Airport and taxi Sunbury to Melbourne Airport transfers, along with pickups from Kilmore, Beveridge, Mickleham, Kalkallo, and surrounding regional areas. For western suburbs we cover Werribee, Tarneit, Melton, and Caroline Springs. Call us to confirm your location and we will arrange your transfer straight away.
What makes Silver Cabs Melbourne a reliable airport transfer service?
Every booking comes with a confirmed driver, a fixed fare, live flight monitoring, and genuine 24/7 availability. No automated matching, no surge pricing, no last-minute cancellations. Just a professional licensed driver confirmed for your trip — whether you are flying at 5 AM or arriving at midnight.
