SUV and Station Wagon Taxi in Melbourne
Up to 6 passengers, extra luggage space
About Our SUV and Station Wagon Service
Silver Taxi Melbourne operates a Toyota Kluger, Prado, or equivalent SUV and station wagon fleet from our Clayton base across Melbourne. These vehicles seat up to six passengers. With four on board they carry four to five large suitcases alongside two to three cabin bags, giving families and groups the room they need without splitting across two cabs. With five or six aboard, the third row takes most of the boot, so a group that size with big suitcases is better off in the Maxi.
Rated 4.9 stars from 55 Google reviews, our drivers are licensed, professionally presented, and on the road 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All vehicles are GPS equipped, air conditioned, and maintained to a consistent standard throughout the year.
Child seats are available on request for $29.90 per booking. Simply mention it when you call to book and your driver will have the correct seat fitted before arrival at your address.

SUV Airport Fares Across Melbourne
The SUV and station wagon is the most popular vehicle for family airport runs across Melbourne. With 4 to 5 large suitcases and 2 to 3 cabin bags fitting comfortably in the boot, there is no need to leave bags behind or manage luggage across two vehicles. Booking one SUV for a group of five or six almost always works out cheaper than booking two separate sedans. Fares below are weekday estimates from our meter rates.

Why Choose the SUV Over a Standard Taxi?
A standard sedan seats four passengers with room for two medium bags. For a solo traveller or a couple with one suitcase, that is usually enough. The moment you add a third passenger with checked baggage, or any group travelling with sporting equipment, a pram, or bulky gifts, a standard sedan runs short on space fast.
Our SUV fleet steps in without the cost and bulk of a Maxi Van. You get comfortable seating for up to six passengers, a genuine boot for four to five large suitcases, and all the same features across every booking: metered fares with no surge pricing, flight tracking on airport runs, Cabcharge payment, and 24 hour availability from our Clayton base.
The SUV is also a strong choice for winery day trips, where a couple or small group wants comfort and boot space for bottles and purchases on the way home. Whether you are heading to the Yarra Valley or the Mornington Peninsula, the SUV gives you the room to travel properly. If your party grows to seven or more, or your luggage load exceeds five large bags, our Maxi Taxi seats up to eleven and handles the extra load comfortably.

Child Seats - How to Request
Child seats are $29.90 per booking in all our SUVs and station wagons. When you call to book, tell us your child's age and approximate weight. We carry forward facing seats suitable for children 4 kg to 18 kg and booster seats for children 18 kg to 36 kg. Give us at least 2 hours notice so we can fit the correct seat before pickup. For Melbourne Airport bookings with a child on board, mention the seat requirement when you book so your driver arrives fully prepared at your address.
