How Airport Pickup Works
When your flight lands, your driver is already waiting, not at the taxi rank outside, but inside at the arrivals hall with a name sign. Here is exactly what to expect at each terminal.
Your driver meets you in the Ground Transport area at the T1 exit, past the baggage carousels. Name sign held at the kerb-side pickup zone.
Your driver waits in the International Arrivals Hall on Level 2, past Customs and Quarantine. Look for a sign with your name. Allow extra time for Customs clearance.
Driver waits at the T3 Arrivals exit, just outside baggage claim. If the T3 car park is busy, your driver will call you and meet at the roadside pickup point.
Driver meets you outside T4 Arrivals at the ground-level pickup area. Call 0412 456 588 when you have your bag, driver will confirm the exact spot.
Flight Delayed? No Charge, No Stress.
We monitor every flight via live tracking. If your flight is delayed, your driver adjusts automatically. Waiting time for delays is included at no extra charge. You pay only the agreed fixed fare.

What to Expect From Your Airport Transfer
When you book an airport transfer with Silver Taxi Melbourne, here is exactly what happens: you use the booking form above or call us with your flight details, pickup address, and vehicle preference. We confirm your booking immediately. On the day of travel, your driver monitors your flight in real time. If it is delayed, they adjust automatically.

Why Book Silver Taxi Instead of Rideshare?
Rideshare apps use surge pricing during peak demand. Early morning flights (4am to 7am) and late night arrivals (10pm to midnight) are exactly when prices spike 2 to 3 times. With Silver Taxi Melbourne, your fare is fixed at booking regardless of time, traffic, or demand. And when your flight is delayed, your driver waits, no rebooking, no extra charge.
We are also TAC and WorkSafe approved, accept Cabcharge for corporate and medical passengers, and provide child seats at no extra cost on request.
