Silver Service Taxi Melbourne
Executive sedan, suited driver, standard fare plus $11
What Silver Service Is
Silver Service is the premium tier of a Melbourne taxi. You get a late model executive sedan, kept clean inside and out, and a driver in a suit who helps with your bags at both ends of the trip. Everything else works exactly like a standard taxi: the same rates, the same route, the same booking form and the same payment options, including Cabcharge.
Silver Taxi Melbourne is based in Clayton and runs Silver Service across Melbourne 24 hours a day, with most of our work in the south east and along the bayside corridor. We are rated 4.9 stars from 55 Google reviews.

A trip that meters $80 in a standard taxi costs $91 in Silver Service, whatever the distance. Tolls are added only where the route uses one, and night tariffs apply the same way as any taxi.

Silver Service to Melbourne Airport
The airport is where Silver Service earns its $11. The driver loads your bags, the car is clean and quiet for the drive up the freeway, and on the way home your flight is tracked so a late landing does not cost you the car. Book the night before for any flight leaving before 6am. If you are travelling with more than three suitcases, the SUV or wagon is the better fit, and groups of five or more need the maxi taxi.
