Capacity

How many people fit in a maxi taxi?

Up to 11 passengers plus driver — Victoria’s largest taxi class — with luggage in the same vehicle. At ME CABS this is Group Move: a Toyota HiAce for the biggest groups, a Kia Carnival for family comfort, or a Mercedes V-Class for premium occasions. One booking, one fare, one arrival time.

The Group Move fleet

Three maxi taxi vehicles, one booking.

Most operators offer one van. We offer a choice — so the vehicle fits the occasion, not the other way around.

One vehicle, not three

A maxi taxi beats splitting into rideshares.

Three rideshares

  • Up to three cars for one big group
  • Surge pricing at peak times
  • Seats are never guaranteed
  • Everyone arrives separately

One Group Move maxi

  • One vehicle, up to 11 seats
  • One fixed fare, agreed upfront
  • Seats reserved for your time
  • The whole group arrives together

How many people fit in a maxi taxi?

Up to 11 passengers plus luggage in the same vehicle — Victoria's largest taxi class. At ME CABS this is Group Move, with three vehicles to choose from: a Toyota HiAce for the biggest groups, a Kia Carnival for family comfort, or a Mercedes V-Class for premium occasions.

How much is a maxi taxi in Melbourne?

Your maxi taxi fare is fixed and agreed upfront before you travel — no meter and no surge. Get an instant quote online or call 1300 012 018 with your group size, route and time.

Is a maxi taxi more expensive than a regular taxi?

For a group it is often cheaper than booking multiple sedans, because one vehicle carries everyone and their luggage on a single fixed fare. We confirm the price when you request a quote.

Can I book a maxi taxi in advance?

Yes. A maxi taxi is best pre-booked, especially for flights and events. We reserve the vehicle for your time, and airport drivers track your flight so a delay does not cost your group its ride.

How do I book a maxi taxi?

Get a fixed quote online or call 1300 012 018 with your group size, route and time. Tell us how many passengers and bags, note any prams, child seats or wheelchair access, and choose your vehicle — or we will advise the right one.

Does Uber do maxi taxis?

Rideshare rarely guarantees 11 seats, so a group request often becomes two surge-priced cars travelling separately. A pre-booked ME CABS Group Move maxi guarantees the seats at a fixed price, in one vehicle, with a premium V-Class option that rideshare does not offer.

Can a maxi taxi go to Melbourne Airport?

Yes — to and from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) and Avalon, with flight tracking so pickup adjusts to your arrival time. It keeps the whole group, with luggage, together in one vehicle.
