About Melbourne CBD

Melbourne CBD sits at postcode 3000, the geographic and commercial heart of the city. The central business district is built around the Hoddle Grid, with Swanston Street, Collins Street, and Bourke Street forming the main arteries. The city is home to major landmarks including Federation Square, Flinders Street Station, and the Melbourne Town Hall. The CBD covers roughly 2.5 square kilometres and is bordered by the Yarra River to the south and Victoria Parade to the north. Getting around the CBD by taxi is common even with trams and trains on hand. The free tram zone covers much of the inner city, but early morning and late night trips, heavy luggage, and point to point travel to hotels or conference venues make taxis a frequent choice. During major events at Marvel Stadium or the Convention Centre, ride demand spikes significantly. Silver Taxi covers Melbourne CBD for airport transfers and local trips around the clock. The fare to Melbourne Airport from the CBD runs from $63 to $69 depending on traffic and pick up location. To book, call 0412 456 588.

Silver Taxi Melbourne picks up and drops off throughout Melbourne CBD, 24 hours a day. We are based in Clayton, which puts us close to the Melbourne suburbs we serve, and we cover CBD jobs regularly across the Hoddle Grid, Docklands, and the southern CBD near Federation Square and Flinders Street.

If you are travelling from Dandenong, Clayton, Springvale, Noble Park, or anywhere across Melbourne, we can have a driver at your door well before you need to leave. Most Melbourne to CBD trips take 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic and your pickup suburb.

Why Book in advance Your CBD Taxi

The CBD has taxi ranks at Flinders Street Station, Spencer Street, and along Swanston Street, but during events, wet weather, and peak times, the wait can stretch to 20 or 30 minutes. When Marvel Stadium hosts a concert or AFL match, thousands of people try to leave at once. Rideshare apps typically price at two or three times the normal rate on those nights.

Booking in advance with Silver Taxi means your fare is confirmed and your driver is allocated before you leave. No waiting at a rank, no surge pricing, no scrambling when the show ends.

Corporate and Hotel Pickups in the CBD

If you are staying at a CBD hotel or finishing a late meeting in the city, we can have a driver waiting at your door or hotel entrance. We work regularly with hotels in the Collins Street and Bourke Street corridors and accept Cabcharge and corporate account billing. See our Corporate Taxi page for account details.

CBD to Airport Transfers

A taxi from Melbourne CBD to Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) costs between $63 and $69 depending on pickup location and traffic. For full airport transfer details, see our Airport Taxi Booking page or our dedicated Tullamarine Airport Taxi page.
