How to get a cab to you fastest.
Enter a full street address rather than a landmark name, and add a note like 'front entrance' or 'side gate' if the pickup point is not obvious. Dispatch sends the nearest available vehicle and confirms by SMS, so you can wait inside instead of on the kerb.

Booking a taxi near you in Melbourne
The fare depends on when you travel. Victorian taxi tariffs change between day, night and public holiday rates, so entering your real pickup date and time in the calculator gives a far more accurate estimate than a generic average.
For an immediate ride, calling 0421 807 027 is usually the quickest option — dispatch can see which cars are closest to you right now. For anything scheduled, booking online locks the vehicle in.
Payment is by card, EFTPOS, cash, Cabcharge or MPTP, with a receipt on request. Toll roads used on your route are added to the fare.
Baby seats, extra luggage space and wheelchair accessible vehicles can be arranged when you call ahead, so dispatch allocates the right car for your booking.
