Pre-book online on the booking page or message us on WhatsApp +61 483 916 627. You'll receive an email confirmation with the driver's name, vehicle, and meet-and-greet location at MEL arrivals before you board.

Fixed fares from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) to the CBD. 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.

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.

Meet-and-greet is available on every pre-booked airport pickup: choose it when you book, add A$35 to the fare, and your driver waits inside the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name. Without it, your driver meets you at the airport's public pickup zone at no extra cost — near the Parkroyal for T1, T2 and T3, or on Level 1 at T4. Either way, the exact meet point depends on your terminal and is sent to you before pickup, with an SMS when the driver is on site. Melbourne Airport asks passengers never to accept a taxi offer made outside an authorised taxi rank or a pre-arranged booking. If someone approaches you in the terminal offering a ride, they are not from ME CABS.

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.

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.

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.
