When locals call us
The moments Melbourne
trusts us with.
Night out
Chapel Street at 1am, home by 1.30.
Pre-book the ride home before the bar gets loud. Your driver's on their way before last call.
Weekend brunch
Fitzroy to Footscray without the tram hop.
Saturday mornings deserve a quiet backseat, not a packed 86. Child seats on request.
Appointments & hospital
The trusted ride for the trips that matter.
Pre-booked, punctual, patient. Specialist visits, day surgery, aged-care — we've done it for Melbourne families for decades.
Your local driver
The locals' cab
Driven by people
who live here.
ME CABS drivers aren't passing through. They're locals with long lists of regulars, unruffled by trams, protests, Grand-Final Friday or the rain that arrives every October.
- Know every laneway
- Our drivers live here. Tram detours, event nights, Punt Road at 6pm — they've seen it.
- Licensed Melbourne taxi
- CPV-accredited, fully insured, number plates you'll recognise. Not a gig-economy mystery.
- Regulars have regulars
- Request a favourite driver once you've found one. Mum's Tuesday appointments, dad's trip to the club.
- Clean car, kind driver
- Every vehicle inspected daily. Water, phone chargers, patience when you need it.
Fixed fares, always
The meter's
already settled.
The price you see at booking is the price you pay. Not when it's raining. Not after the concert. Not on a Friday. Ever.
- No surge pricing, no peak-hour uplift, no weather tax.
- Tolls and GST included — no bill-shock at the drop-off.
- Cancellation free up to 2 hours before scheduled pickup.

What Melbourne says
4.8 from 2,400+ local reviews
The regulars we're proudest of.
“Same driver most Friday nights. He knows I hate Punt Road and always swings via Queens Road instead. Fixed fare means I budget properly, too — no more 2am surprise surges.”
Sarah
St Kilda regular
“Tried rideshare for AFL finals and paid three times the fare to crawl through the same traffic. Now it's ME CABS every game day. Same price, same route, same driver half the time.”
Raj
Richmond → MCG
“Mum's specialist runs to East Melbourne happen every fortnight. The driver helps her in and out without me even asking. I couldn't do these trips without them.”

Answers for locals
Common questions.
Flat, fixed fare shown at booking. The number you see is the number you pay — tolls and GST included. No surge, no peak-hour multipliers, no weather uplift, no weekend tax.
Absolutely. Cash is accepted directly with the driver. We're a licensed Melbourne taxi service, not an app-only operator — pay how it suits you.
Around 3 minutes on weeknights, 5–8 on peak Friday or Saturday. Book ahead for anything time-critical — we'll lock in your driver and ETA.
24/7, every night of the year. Our fleet is on the road at 2am, 5am, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve at the same fixed fare you'd pay at noon.
Yes. CityLink, EastLink, Bolte Bridge — every toll is included in your fixed fare. You'll never see a bill with tolls itemised later.
Call 1300 012 018 or WhatsApp us. Because our drivers are known, not anonymous gig workers, lost property is reliably returned within 24 hours in the CBD.
