Avg metro pickup
ME CABS is a Melbourne-based taxi booking service operating 24/7 across Greater Melbourne and regional Victoria. Book online, by phone or on WhatsApp, see a fixed fare before you confirm, and choose a vehicle for everyday, premium, group or accessible travel.
Average metro pickup
Under 10min
For Melbourne metro pickups, the average pickup is under 10 minutes — an average, not a guarantee. Actual availability depends on your location, the time, traffic, vehicle type and accessibility requirements. Schedule ahead when timing matters.
A Melbourne taxi booking without the usual uncertainty.
Most people booking a taxi aren’t only asking whether a car is available. They want to know it will arrive, what the trip will cost, whether the vehicle suits the passengers and luggage, and whether a real person will help if plans change. ME CABS is built around those questions.
Price certainty
See the fixed fare before you book. No rideshare-style surge on a confirmed ME CABS fare, and no meter anxiety in traffic.
A real local team
Call 1300 012 018 at any hour for booking help or trip support — a Melbourne dispatch team, not only an app.
A professional standard
Accredited drivers and vehicles, with cleaner hybrid and electric cars across most of the fleet.
Pay how you like
Card, contactless, cash, Cabcharge or MPTP for eligible passengers — confirmed in your booking.

Booked and fixed, not a meter you watch in traffic.
A ME CABS trip booked through the website, phone or WhatsApp uses the fare shown and agreed before you confirm. That’s different from an unbooked taxi hailed on the street or taken from a rank.
In Victoria, unbooked rank-and-hail taxi trips are legally required to use the meter; fares for booked services are not regulated the same way. So check the displayed total and any add-ons before confirming — for a baby seat, meet-and-greet, wheelchair vehicle, waiting time or multiple stops, include it before you accept the quote.
Fixed price agreed up front. No surge on a confirmed fare. A clearer basis for budgeting than a meter climbing during congestion.
Runs on the meter by law, with the final total unknown until you arrive — and longer in heavy traffic.
Fare information reflects Safe Transport Victoria guidance on booked vs unbooked commercial passenger services. Confirm your displayed total and add-ons at checkout before booking.

Cabcharge, guest bookings and travel for others.
ME CABS supports travel where the passenger, booker and payer may be different people — send a car for a staff member, book a guest from a hotel, or arrange a client’s airport transfer. Cabcharge is accepted alongside card and cash. State the passenger name, mobile, pickup contact and payment method in the booking.

- Book for staff, clients, guests or patients
- One booking covers passenger, booker and payer
Wheelchair-accessible taxis and MPTP.
Wheelchair-accessible and mobility-suitable vehicles can be requested across Melbourne, including airport and appointment trips. Advance booking is recommended, as the right vehicle and restraint set-up may not be immediately available everywhere. MPTP is accepted for eligible passengers — mention your card, wheelchair type, assistance needs and any return timing when booking.
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicles on request
- MPTP accepted for eligible passengers
- Book ahead for appointments and returns

ME CABS matches your booking to a category rather than a specific model. Examples may include Tesla, Lexus and other suitable hybrid, electric or premium vehicles — subject to availability.

Plus
Extra cabin or luggage room for airport, business and comfort trips.

Accredited drivers, registered vehicles and a real contact.
ME CABS states its drivers and vehicles are accredited by Safe Transport Victoria, and current vehicles display the official Safe Transport Victoria QR code used for passenger feedback. Before the trip you receive a booking reference and available driver or vehicle details — if anything doesn’t match, contact dispatch before you get in.
