Taxi in Brighton,
bayside pickups, day or night.
Brighton's taxi work is a mix of Church Street and Bay Street shopping and dining, station connections on the Sandringham line, and long pre-booked airport transfers from residential streets where cabs rarely cruise past. Almost every trip here is better booked than hailed.
No payment now — our dispatcher calls you to confirm. Card, Cabcharge, MPTP and cash all accepted in the cab.
Metered fare with live tariff. Calculated using Victorian CPVV (Day Rate) tariffs plus live route data. Tolls passed through at cost.

Booking a Brighton taxi: what to know
Brighton, Brighton East and North Brighton each have their own postcode and some overlapping street names. Include the postcode when you book so the driver is routed to the right one.
Nepean Highway is the main artery north and it slows in both peaks. For an airport departure the driver will usually take the highway to CityLink; tolls are added to the metered fare, or you can lock in a fixed price at booking.
Summer weekends bring heavy foreshore traffic along Beach Road and around Dendy Street Beach. Allow extra time and nominate a cross-street rather than the beach car park.
Card, EFTPOS, cash, Cabcharge and MPTP-subsidised fares are all accepted, with a receipt on request.
