Ideal For
Fixed Fare, No Meter
One of the most common concerns with taxi travel is not knowing the final cost until you arrive. The Silver Taxi removes this uncertainty entirely. When you book, you receive a fixed fare that does not change regardless of traffic, time of day, or route taken. This is particularly useful for airport runs, where traffic on the Tullamarine Freeway can vary significantly depending on when you travel. There are no night surcharges, no peak hour premiums, and no additions at the end of the trip. The fare you agree to at booking is the fare you pay.
