Maxi Taxi Melbourne: The Group Transport Guide for Airports, Events, Weddings and Day Trips | Mecabs

Travelling as a group in Melbourne should be the easy part. Ordering two or three rideshare cars, hoping they arrive together and paying surge on each one usually drains the fun before you have left the driveway.

Whether it is a large family, a bridal party or a corporate team, the simplest fix is one spacious vehicle for everyone. That is what a ME CABS maxi taxi is for.

A maxi taxi (also called a maxi cab or van taxi) seats 7 to 10 passengers with their luggage and is driven by a professional local driver. Here is how a pre-booked maxi taxi in Melbourne changes each kind of group trip.

1. Maxi taxi to Melbourne Airport: groups and heavy luggage

A maxi taxi to the airport in Melbourne is the one booking that keeps the whole group, and all its bags, together from the front door to the terminal. Tullamarine and Avalon are both covered.

Space for everything. A maxi cab to Melbourne Airport is not only about extra seats. Oversized suitcases, golf clubs, surfboards and prams all fit in the cabin without anyone riding with a bag on their lap.

Cheaper than splitting up. One maxi taxi from Melbourne Airport to the city is almost always cheaper than two or three standard cars once tolls and airport fees are counted. It also beats a 12 seater van hire at Melbourne Airport: no pick-up queue, no fuel, and nobody driving tired after a long flight.

Meet and greet on arrival. Pre-book your airport taxi transfer and your driver tracks the flight and meets your group in the arrivals hall, so you leave together instead of queuing at the rank. [Founder: confirm the exact terminal pickup point before publishing.]

Avalon too. A maxi taxi to Avalon Airport is a fixed-fare booking in the same way as Tullamarine, which suits Jetstar groups heading west.

2. Major events: keep the squad together

Melbourne is Australia's events capital, but moving eight friends to the MCG, Marvel Stadium or Flemington during the Spring Racing Carnival normally means splitting the group and losing each other in the crowd.

Beat the traffic. Our local drivers know the drop-off points for each stadium and racecourse and get the group as close to the gate as the road closures allow.

Avoid the surge. Rideshare fares, Uber XL included, double or triple when an event finishes. Pre-book your maxi taxi in Melbourne for the trip home and the fare is fixed before the night starts.

Arrive together. One car, one arrival time. No waiting outside the venue for the second car to show up.

3. Weddings and parties: wedding transport that runs on time

Wedding transport in Melbourne comes down to timing. A maxi taxi is the practical shuttle for a bridal party, a hens night or a milestone birthday.

Bridal parties and guests. Move the bridal party from the hotel to the venue in one trip, then run elderly relatives and VIP guests back to their accommodation safely at the end of the night.

Room to arrive looking right. Extra headroom and legroom mean suits and dresses are not crushed into the back of a sedan.

A designated driver for everyone. Your professional driver handles navigation, parking and the drive home, so the whole group can relax.

4. Regional day trips: explore Victoria on your own timetable

A maxi taxi is not limited to the CBD. Book it by the hour and it becomes the group's private vehicle for a day out of town.

Wine tours. Planning a tasting day through the Yarra Valley or the Mornington Peninsula? Book a ME CABS maxi taxi through our hourly booking service. The driver stays with you all day, so nobody draws the short straw as designated driver.

Family getaways. Heading down the Great Ocean Road or up to the Dandenong Ranges? A maxi taxi gives the kids room to stretch out and leaves space for the picnic gear, hiking boots and everything else a full day needs.
