How do I book a taxi in Melbourne's north?
Book online in about a minute on this page, or call (03) 9009 0051 any time, day or night. Enter your pickup and drop off, pick the car, add your details and confirm, and the booking arrives by email.
Is 13 Taxi North Suburban open 24 hours?
Yes. We take bookings and run taxis 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including early morning airport runs, late nights and public holidays.
Can I book a taxi in advance?
Yes. Choose "Book for later" and set the date and time. Booking ahead is the safe choice for early flights, hospital appointments and anything where the time matters.
Should I choose a fixed price or the meter?
Choose a fixed price if you want to know the cost before you travel: it is agreed when you book and only changes if the destination or route changes on the day, or you add stops. On the meter you pay what the meter shows at the end of the trip, which can come in under or over the estimate depending on traffic.
Can I book a return trip?
Yes. Tick "Add a return trip" on the last step of the booking form and set the return date and time. Both legs are priced together before you confirm.
How do I cancel or change a booking?
Call (03) 9009 0051 or email 13taxinorthsuburban@gmail.com. Cancelling or changing is free with at least two hours notice; a late cancellation fee may apply after that, and we always tell you the amount first.
Is 13 Taxi North Suburban part of 13cabs?
No. 13 Taxi North Suburban is an independent local taxi business in Melbourne's north. Book directly with us online or on our own number.
How much is a taxi from Epping to Melbourne Airport?
About $51 to $62 on the meter on the day rate, or a fixed price of about $57 when you book online. The trip takes about 33 minutes in normal traffic.

From Craigieburn it is about $44 to $55 on the meter (fixed price about $50). From Mernda it is about $73 to $89 (fixed price about $81). Your exact trip is priced in the booking form.
How much is a taxi from Epping to the Melbourne CBD?
About $74 to $91 on the meter on the day rate, for roughly 35 km. Book online for a fixed price before you travel.
How are taxi fares worked out?
Fares follow the published Victorian taxi tariff: a flag fall plus a rate per kilometre, with tolls and fees added where they apply. The day rate runs 9am to 5pm, the evening and overnight rate 5pm to 9am, and a higher rate applies late on Friday and Saturday nights and on public holidays. The minimum fare is $18.00.
How does the free Silver Service upgrade work?
Book a sedan trip worth more than $50 and we send a Silver Service car at no extra cost. The upgrade shows in your fare when it applies, and Silver Service is otherwise $11.00 extra.
Are tolls and the airport fee included?
Yes, they are built into the price you see. A toll is added only when your route uses a toll road, and the $5.26 airport pickup fee applies only to pickups from the terminal.
Do you do airport transfers from the northern suburbs?
Yes, airport runs are our most booked trip: to and from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) from Epping, South Morang, Mill Park, Craigieburn, Mernda, Greensborough and every suburb around them.
What if my flight is delayed?
Add your flight number when you book. We check the arrival time, so a late landing does not cost you the car.
Where do I meet the taxi at Melbourne Airport?
Your driver meets you at the airport pickup area after you collect your bags. Call us once you land if you need help finding the car.
How many people fit in a taxi?
A sedan or SUV takes up to 4 passengers. A maxi taxi takes up to 11 passengers with 8 large bags, so a group or family travels in one car.

Yes. Choose Maxi Taxi on step two of the booking form. It adds $17.80 to the fare and is usually cheaper than two separate cars for five or more people.
Can I book a taxi with a baby seat?
Yes, on request. Tell us the age of each child when you book and the right restraint is fitted before the car arrives.
Do you deliver parcels?
Yes. We run same day parcel delivery across Melbourne's north and beyond, straight from pickup to the door in one of our cars.
How can I pay for my taxi?
Cash, credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cabcharge or the MPTP half fare card. A fixed price can also be paid by card when you book.
Do you accept Cabcharge and the MPTP card?
Yes. Cabcharge cards and dockets and the Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) half fare card are accepted in the car on any trip.

Do you only drive within the northern suburbs?
No. We pick up in the north and drive anywhere in Melbourne from there, including the airport, the city, the eastern and western suburbs and longer trips out of town.
