Why ME CABS in Southbank
Built around how Southbank really moves.
Southbank is one of Melbourne's busiest neighbourhoods. By day, it's home to office towers, hotels and apartment living. By night, it becomes Melbourne's entertainment district — theatres, restaurants, Crown and major events all within a few blocks.
Every trip is different. That's why local knowledge matters.
One suburb, two rhythms
Towers by day, the show by night
Southbank to Melbourne Airport
One of Melbourne's most convenient airport journeys.
Southbank is only around 22 kilometres from Melbourne Airport and offers one of the fastest airport connections from the inner city. With ME CABS you get fixed fares quoted before booking, professional drivers, flight tracking, door-to-door pickup and early morning availability.
One fixed fare, one smooth run — organised well before your flight.

FAQ
The questions Southbank actually asks.
Still have a question? Call our Melbourne dispatch on 1300 012 018.
How far is Southbank from Melbourne Airport?
About 22 km by road — roughly 25 minutes outside peak, and 45 to 60 minutes in the morning or evening peak. The West Gate Freeway and CityLink run right past Southbank, so you are on the airport road within minutes of leaving the kerb.
How much is a taxi from Southbank to Melbourne Airport?
ME CABS quotes a fixed fare before you book, so you know the exact amount rather than an estimate. The fare you see is the fare you pay.
Can you pick me up after a show or a night at Crown?
Yes — and this is what we do best. Book ahead and your transport is organised before the show ends. We agree a planned pickup point, hold a fixed fare with no surge, and know the event-night road closures around the precinct.
Do you charge surge pricing on event nights?
No. There is no surge in the ME CABS model. A car booked at 6pm for 10:45pm costs, at 10:45pm, exactly what it cost at 6pm.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight and adjust the pickup time automatically. Give us the flight number when you book and the driver is there for the actual landing time — no uncertainty, no searching for transport.
Can you drop me at the Arts Centre, NGV or the Recital Centre?
Yes. The arts precinct is being rebuilt and some access points have moved, so tell us the venue and we will take you to the entrance that is actually open.
