Basically the trick is “You get what you pay for.” Taxi Services Commission has a website which tells you how much a trip should cost at any time of the day but we can assure you, they cant tell if the driver will be on time, If the driver will actually turn up or even worse if they will even have the received your booking. If you want to check TSC taxi fare estimator, you can always head to https://www.taxifare.com.au/ or alternatively we have put together a small guide called maxi cab fare calculator.

Maxi Cab is a 10 seater van whereas a normal taxi is a 4 seater sedan taxi. Maxi Cab can comfortably accommodate 8 people with their luggage but if you are 4 or less than 4 passengers then you can always book a sedan taxi. The only thing to keep in mind when booking sedan taxi is it has very minutes boot space as they also have gas tank in boot so it could only fit one big luggage in the boot.
Mostly if you have doubt about the quantity of luggage, we recommend you to take maxi cab or airport shuttle as it only costs $20 extra but you have peace of mind that it will be accommodated in a maxi cab van.
Taxi Bus is another name for Maxi Cab.

However if you book with us, we will take your flight number and we will track your flight. Even if your flight is delayed, we will know and have the driver ready for you. With us the maximum wait time is 5 minutes and you get a guarantee that someone is waiting for you at the airport.
