The stories we're proudest of.

My flight landed at 2am after a five-hour delay. The driver was still there, calm and polite, bags in the car before I could apologise. Felt looked after.

How much is a taxi from Tullamarine Airport to Melbourne CBD?

Fixed fares from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) to the CBD start from around A$102 in a Flex hybrid sedan, A$114 in a Range, and A$122 in a 9-seater Plus. The fare is locked at the moment of booking — no surge pricing, no traffic surcharge, no card fee on Cabcharge. Off-peak the run is 33 minutes; weekday morning peak is 48-58 minutes.

Do you track international flight arrivals?

Yes. Every airport pickup is flight-tracked at no extra charge. Add your flight number to the booking. If your flight arrives early or late — including international flights with Border Force / Customs delays — the pickup time adjusts automatically. The driver waits at arrivals through the queue, with no clock starting on the meter.

Where does my driver meet me at Melbourne Airport (MEL)?

Standard meet-and-greet is at the international arrivals hall (Terminal 2) for international flights, or the relevant domestic terminal (T1, T3, T4) for domestic. Driver holds a sign with your name. SMS confirmation lands when the driver is on-site so you can call directly if you prefer kerb-side pickup at the express pickup zone instead.

Can I pay in foreign currency, or with an overseas card?

All major international cards accepted — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, plus Apple Pay, Google Pay. Charges are processed in AUD at the time of trip completion; your card issuer handles the conversion at their daily rate. Receipt emailed automatically post-trip for expense reporting. Cabcharge and corporate accounts also accepted.

What if my international flight is delayed by several hours?

Flight tracking handles short delays automatically. For longer delays (3+ hours) the driver re-confirms the pickup with the dispatch on 1300 012 018. We don't charge extra for waiting time on a flight-tracked booking. You'll get an SMS update on the new pickup ETA.

Do drivers speak English?

All ME CABS drivers are English-fluent. Many also speak a second language — common ones in our fleet include Hindi, Punjabi, Mandarin, Cantonese, Arabic, Vietnamese. If you'd prefer a specific language driver, note it in the booking comments and the dispatch will match where possible.
