Taxi Service Essendon
Silver Cabs Melbourne offers a reliable taxi service in Essendon, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us or book online now for fixed-price airport transfers, corporate travel, and local trips across Essendon and surrounding suburbs.
Essendon is one of the busiest inner-northwest suburbs in Melbourne, and that means demand for a dependable taxi service Essendon locals can count on doesn’t really let up. Between the shopping strip along Puckle Street, match days at Windy Hill, and the steady flow of residents heading to and from Essendon Fields and Melbourne Airport, a taxi service that actually shows up on time matters more here than in most suburbs. Silver Cabs Melbourne runs drivers through Essendon around the clock, so whether you’re booking a spur-of-the-moment ride or planning an early flight weeks in advance, there’s a car available.
We’ve been servicing Essendon and the surrounding suburbs for years, and our drivers know the area well — from the back streets around Napier Park to the quickest route onto the Tullamarine Freeway when traffic is heavy. That local knowledge is the difference between a taxi that gets you there on time and one that’s guessing at directions from a GPS.
Getting Around Essendon
Essendon is well connected — Essendon Station and Moonee Ponds Station are both nearby on the Craigieburn line, Mount Alexander Road runs straight through the suburb, and the Tullamarine Freeway is only minutes away. That connectivity is great for public transport during the day, but it doesn’t help much at 5am for an early flight, or late at night after an event. That’s where we come in. We cover:
- Early morning and late-night airport transfers to and from Melbourne Airport
- Pickups and drop-offs around Windy Hill for match days and events
- Trips to medical appointments along Mount Alexander Road, where a lot of clinics and specialists are based
- Weekend trips into the CBD, so you’re not paying for parking or dealing with tram delays
- School run backups and one-off trips for families around Essendon North
Other Services Available from Silver Cabs Melbourne
Beyond our standard taxi service Essendon residents rely on day to day, we offer a full range of transport services across Melbourne, all bookable through the same easy process:
Corporate Cabs premium corporate taxi service with Cabcharge and account billing for business travellers
City Tours explore Melbourne’s landmarks, laneways, and attractions with a knowledgeable local driver
Hotel Transfers seamless hotel pickup and drop-off across Melbourne CBD, with optional meet-and-greet service
Parcel Delivery same-day parcel delivery across Melbourne with reliable, secure handling
Whatever you need transport for, it’s worth checking whether one of these services suits your trip better than a standard local taxi booking.

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

🚙 4–6 Passengers
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.
Airport Transfers from Essendon
A taxi to Melbourne Airport from Essendon typically takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending on traffic on the Tullamarine Freeway, making it one of the shortest and most predictable airport transfers we offer. Because the route is short and well-known, we can offer confident, affordable pricing — book online or over the phone and you’ll know your exact fare before the driver arrives.
For early morning flights, we recommend booking the night before. This guarantees a driver is confirmed and waiting outside your address at the exact time you need them.
Corporate and Cabcharge Bookings
Essendon has a strong mix of small businesses and corporate offices, which is exactly why we’re fully accredited for Cabcharge taxi payments. Whether you’re travelling for work, need a corporate account set up for regular bookings, or simply prefer to pay by corporate card instead of cash, our drivers can process Cabcharge and account billing quickly and seamlessly at the end of your trip.
Families, Groups and Special Requirements
We know Essendon has plenty of families baby seats and booster seats are available at no extra cost, you just need to mention it when booking. For larger groups, whether it’s an airport drop-off with the whole family or a group heading out for an event, our Maxi Taxi seats up to 10 passengers, so you’re not splitting into two cars.
