A Car That Comes Out to You
Getting to a Melbourne airport from a regional town is the hard part of the trip. The coach timetable rarely lines up with an early check in, the train lands you in the city with a connection still ahead of you, and leaving your own car at the airport for a fortnight costs more than most people expect. Asking a family member to drive two hours each way at four in the morning is the usual fallback.
We send a car to you instead. Silver Taxi Melbourne covers regional Victoria to and from both Melbourne airports, at one fixed price agreed before the car leaves. Because the vehicle travels out to your town, these runs are booked ahead rather than hailed on the day, which also means the driver is already planned around your flight time.

Both Melbourne Airports
Tullamarine (MEL)
Melbourne Airport, terminals T1, T2, T3 and T4. We meet you at the terminal your airline uses, and for departures we drop you at the right door rather than the first one on the loop.
Avalon (AVV)
A single terminal between Melbourne and Geelong, and the closer airport for Geelong, the Surf Coast and much of western Victoria. Often the shorter run of the two.
Flight tracking
Give us the flight number and the driver works from the live arrival time. Land early and the car is waiting. Run late and the pickup moves with the flight at no extra charge.
Meet and greet
For arrivals, the driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign instead of texting from the car park. Meet and greet is $25, which covers the airport parking.
One Way or Return
Most regional bookings are return trips, because the drive home at the end of a long flight is the leg people least want to organise from the airport. The fare home is the same fixed price as the fare out, agreed at the same time, so there is nothing to negotiate when you land. Book both legs together and we hold the return against your inbound flight number and track it the same way.
What You Get in the Price
A fixed priceQuoted and agreed before the car leaves, not left running on the meter for a two hour drive. Tolls on the route are extra and shown in the quote.
Door to doorFrom your own address in the regional town to the terminal door, and back to the same address on the return leg.
Flight tracked pickupsThe arrival time is read live, so delays and early landings are handled without a phone call from you.
Waiting after landingBecause we track the flight, a delayed landing does not add a waiting charge. The driver works from the time you actually land.
The right vehicleSedan for one to four, SUV for up to six with luggage, Maxi Van for up to eleven. Tell us the bags as well as the people.
All payment methodsCash, EFTPOS, credit card and Cabcharge, with no card fee. Corporate accounts can be billed directly.
Booking a Regional Pickup
Send the form at the top of this page, or call 0412 456 588 with your town, the airport, your flight number and the date. We confirm the vehicle, the pickup time and one fixed price before anything is booked. For trips inside Melbourne, see our airport transfer page.
Regional Pickup Questions
Do you pick up from regional Victoria?
Yes. We run regional pickups across Victoria to and from both Melbourne airports, including Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, the Surf Coast, the Mornington Peninsula, Gippsland, the Macedon Ranges and the Goulburn Valley. Because the car travels out to you, regional work is booked ahead rather than hailed on the day. Give us your town, your flight details and the date, and we confirm the price and the pickup time before you book.
How much does a taxi from regional Victoria to Melbourne Airport cost?
Regional runs are quoted as a fixed price for the trip rather than left on the meter, so you know the figure before the car leaves. The price depends on your town, which airport you need and the vehicle size. Tell us the pickup address, the airport and the flight time and we confirm one price in writing. The fare home is the same fixed price, so a return booking is simply two legs at an agreed rate. Call 0412 456 588 or send the form on this page.
Do you go to Avalon as well as Tullamarine?
Both. Tullamarine, also called Melbourne Airport, has four terminals, T1 to T4, and we meet you at the right one for your airline. Avalon has a single terminal and sits between Melbourne and Geelong, which makes it the closer airport for Geelong, the Surf Coast and much of the west. Tell us which airport is on your ticket and we plan the run around it.
What happens if my flight is late?
We track the flight. Give us the flight number when you book and the driver works from the live arrival time, not the time printed on your ticket. If you land early the car is already there, and if you are delayed the pickup moves with the flight at no extra charge. For a regional drop off, we build the drive time back into the schedule so a delay at the airport does not leave you waiting.
How far ahead do I need to book a regional pickup?
Book at least a day ahead where you can, and earlier for an early morning flight or a public holiday. A regional pickup means the car is leaving Melbourne well before your pickup time, or is already positioned in your area, so it has to be planned rather than dispatched on the spot. If your plans are last minute, call 0412 456 588 and we will tell you honestly whether we can cover it.
Can you carry a group or extra luggage from a regional town?
Yes. A sedan suits one to four passengers, an SUV takes up to six with luggage, and the Maxi Van carries up to eleven. For a family flying out together, one Maxi Van from a regional town is normally cheaper than two cars and keeps everyone on the same schedule. Tell us the group size and the luggage when you book, including golf clubs, prams, skis or boxes, so the right vehicle is sent.
