Ideal For
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 indicative. Call 0412 456 588 for a confirmed quote on your exact route.
| Suburb | Sedan | SUV / Wagon | Saving vs 2 Cabs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clayton | ~$90 | ~$95 | Save ~$85 |
| Dandenong | ~$110 | ~$115 | Save ~$105 |
| Frankston | ~$115 | ~$120 | Save ~$110 |
| Cheltenham | ~$80 | ~$85 | Save ~$75 |

Fares are indicative for a trip to Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine). Booking the SUV typically costs $5 to $10 more than a sedan but replaces two vehicles for groups of 5 to 6. Tolls are additional where applicable.
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: fixed fares, 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 available at no extra charge 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.
Frequently Asked Questions - SUV Taxi
How many passengers does the SUV taxi hold?
The Silver Taxi Melbourne SUV and station wagon seats up to six passengers, making it ideal for families, small groups, and airport runs with a lot of luggage. We operate a Toyota Kluger, Prado, or equivalent, providing a higher seating position, a wide cabin, and a large cargo area at the rear. The boot holds four to five large suitcases plus two to three cabin bags, enough for a family of five travelling to Melbourne Airport with full checked luggage. The SUV is also popular for winery day trips for couples and small groups, sporting events, and weekend getaways to suburbs including Frankston, Dandenong, and Cranbourne. For groups of seven or more, or where more than five large suitcases need to be carried, a Maxi Van seats up to eleven and may be the better fit. Call 0412 456 588 to book your SUV in Melbourne.
Can I get a child seat in the SUV taxi?
Yes. Child seats are available at no extra charge in the Silver Taxi Melbourne SUV and station wagon. We carry rear facing infant restraints suitable for babies up to 12 months, forward facing child seats for toddlers aged one to four years, and booster seats for children aged four to seven. When you call to book, tell us the age of your child so we can prepare the correct restraint for the journey. Under Australian road rules, children must be in the correct restraint for their age group and we take this responsibility seriously. If you need a child seat for a Melbourne Airport trip, advise us at the time of booking so your driver has the seat installed before arriving at your address. There is no hire charge for the child seat. For multiple child seats or an older child, call 0412 456 588 to discuss options.
