What A Standard Taxi Gives You

The standard taxi is the car most of our passengers travel in. It is a sedan, it seats up to four people, and it carries the luggage a normal trip produces.

Every standard taxi in our fleet is insured, GPS tracked and safety checked on schedule. Consequently, we take a car off the road the moment something needs attention rather than waiting for it to fail.

Your fare is fixed before you travel. There is no meter anxiety and no surge pricing, so the number you hear on the phone is the number you pay.

Who The Standard Taxi Suits

Most trips across the eastern suburbs fit this vehicle comfortably. Below are the jobs it handles every day.

Solo riders and couples

One or two passengers with a bag each. This is the cheapest way to travel with us, and it is the fastest car to allocate.

Short local trips

School runs, medical appointments, shopping and nights out. More detail sits on our city ride taxi page.

Domestic airport departures

Two passengers with two cases fit easily. For a family or a long-haul trip, however, a wagon is the better choice.

Capacity, Luggage And Child Seats

A standard taxi seats four adults. In practice, luggage decides the vehicle more often than passenger numbers do.

  • Four passengers with hand luggage is comfortable
  • Two passengers with two large suitcases is comfortable
  • Four passengers with four large suitcases will not fit
  • Prams, golf clubs and skis need a wagon or a van

Baby and child seats are available at no extra cost. Nevertheless, tell us at the booking stage so the seat is fitted before the car arrives.

Fixed Fares On Every Standard Taxi Trip

We quote one price before the trip and that figure holds, whatever the traffic or the weather does.

Your quote already covers tolls on the route, airport pickup and parking fees, a child seat on request, and help with your luggage at both ends. Therefore nothing is added at the end of the journey.

We accept cash, all major cards and Cabcharge. Businesses can also open an account and settle one invoice each month.

Where Our Standard Taxis Run

Mitcham is our base, and the eastern suburbs are home ground.

  • Mitcham, Nunawading, Blackburn and Forest Hill
  • Box Hill, Camberwell, Balwyn, Kew and Hawthorn
  • Ringwood, Croydon, Bayswater and Vermont South
  • Doncaster, Doncaster East and Templestowe
  • Glen Waverley, plus the Whitehorse and Maroondah council areas

We travel well beyond that list as well. So ask us even if your suburb is not named above.

Standard Taxi Or A Larger Vehicle?

Choosing correctly the first time saves everyone a second phone call. Here is the quick test.

Stay with the standard taxi for up to four passengers with modest bags. Move up to an SUV or station wagon when the boot is the problem, and to a maxi van when you have five or more passengers.

If the trip is a client pickup or an executive airport run, our silver service taxi is the car to ask for instead.

Payment, Accounts And Funded Travel

Most passengers pay the driver at the end of the trip. Account and scheme-funded passengers are invoiced instead.

We bill NDIS, TAC and WorkSafe travel directly where the passenger qualifies. As a result, eligible passengers reach their appointments without paying out of pocket. See our NDIS transport page for the detail.

Booking A Standard Taxi

Booking takes under a minute. Call 1300 305 276 at any hour, or book online for a fixed upfront fare.

Immediate jobs are fine and a car usually reaches you within minutes. For an early airport departure, though, the night before is better.

You can compare every vehicle and service on our services page, read about our drivers on the about us page, or reach us through the contact page. Every driver is accredited through Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria.
