Top 5 Reasons to Book Taxis for International Airport and Domestic Airport Melbourne Transfers
There is nothing more exciting than packing your bags and heading to the airport for a holiday. Even travelling for business brings a level of excitement that you just don’t experience when going into the office each morning. Whether you’re going interstate or overseas, the airport will be your first point of call.
Unfortunately, getting to and from the airport is nowhere near as exciting.
There’s often a lot of traffic, no matter what time of day or night you’re travelling. Parking is prohibitively expensive and, whilst there are more affordable parking lots available, they require a long trek back to the terminals. There isn’t a lot of public transport, plus this requires you to lug your own bags. Ride shares often charge surge pricing, not to mention the stress that they may not even turn up.
The answer is to book in advance with Maxi Cab Melbourne Airport! Here are 5 reasons that a taxi is the ideal transfer, whether you need the international airport or the domestic airport:
- Saves Time
Believe it or not, travelling by taxi can actually save you time – and we all know that time is at a premium when it comes to the airport. Public transport or an airport shuttle often requires frequent deviations from the route in order to pick up other passengers – there’s no guarantee that you’ll arrive on time. When driving yourself, you have to allow extra time to find parking and make your way to the terminals. If you’ve opted for cheaper lots that require you to be shuttled across, the shuttles are often running late and overcrowded.
When you book with us, however, you’ll receive a door-to-door service. You’ll be picked up on schedule and dropped off with plenty of time to spare. Plus, did you know that taxis can travel in bus lanes to skip past traffic? Not even Uber can do that!
- No Surprise Fees
We generally expect that a trip to the airport isn’t going to be cheap. When you drive yourself, you’ve got to deal with exorbitant parking fees – and if you haven’t pre-booked, you’ll often be stung when you return to the pay station. When travelling in ride shares and some taxis, you’ll be responsible for any toll fees that may be encountered – even if these go above and beyond what you were quoted.
Maxi Cab Melbourne Airport are upfront with our fares – what you’re quoted for a particular route is what you’ll pay (unless there are requests to change the route, then any additional costs will be communicated promptly). We don’t even charge a waiting fee for the first 10 minutes in case you’re running behind. We don’t believe in hidden fees and aim for transparency in our fares at all times.
- Skilled Drivers
As we’ve previously mentioned, airports tend to be busy places at all times of the day and night. Driving in heavy traffic can be very stressful if it’s something you don’t do often. Couple this with being late for a flight and you’re likely to make a mistake or even get a fine. We employ a team of skilled drivers who are accustomed to heavy traffic and know all the shortcuts to get around traffic jams.
Our drivers also spend a lot of time at Melbourne Airport, so are very familiar with both the domestic and international terminals. They know which airlines use which terminals and know the best spots to drop you off so that you get inside as quickly as possible. This is also useful for your return trip home, as you won’t have to wait in long queues – we’ll let you know where to meet us.
- Suits Large Groups
Travelling in a group can wreak all sorts of havoc when trying to get to the airport on time, as it often requires several taxis to be booked. Most people agree to just meet there at a prearranged time rather than travel together, which can impact on the travel experience. It also increases the costs, as several taxis or the need to pay for parking adds up quickly.
When you book with Maxi Cab Melbourne Airport, rest assured that large groups can travel together – our maxi taxis can seat up to 11 passengers, including luggage. The price will also be far more affordable, and all of the passengers will be able to split the fare between them. We’re also the ideal choice if you have a lot of luggage but only a small number of passengers, as our cabs can accommodate.
- Instant Tour Guide
If you’re a visitor to Melbourne, finding your way around and knowing the best places to go can be challenging. Whilst there are online resources you can use, they aren’t always up to date and looking at the streets in real life can quickly become confusing – particularly as maps are shown in birdseye view. Our drivers spend a lot of time travelling around Melbourne, so they’ll be able to act as an instant tour guide of sorts during your commute. Ask them to point out popular landmarks and attractions, as well as recommended places to eat.
Even if you’re a Melbourne local, we’re sure there’s lots of things that you don’t know about this amazing city – your taxi driver will be more than happy to fill you in, either on the way to the airport or on your way home.
Why else is taking a taxi to the international airport or domestic airport Melbourne the preferred decision? There’s less worry, less effort, you won’t be imposing on others (even if they insist you’re not), you’ll get there safely, your ride will be clean and comfortable, there’s plenty of space for everyone, and we even monitor traffic to ensure that we’re abreast of any traffic jams or accidents. It’s a win-win for everyone!
