Local & Long Distance Rides

Across the suburb or across the state

Need to get across town for dinner or all the way to Geelong for a meeting? We've got you covered for trips of any distance, with the same reliable service whether it's 5km or 75km.

Local & Long Distance Rides

Some taxi services turn down long trips. Too far, they say. Can't be bothered. Not us. Whether you need a quick ride from Fitzroy to the CBD or you're heading to a beach house on the Mornington Peninsula, a winery in the Yarra Valley, or a meeting in Ballarat, we'll take you there. Our drivers know Melbourne inside out. They know which streets are roadwork nightmares right now, which lanes to avoid during school pickup, and the fastest way to get you where you're going. For longer trips, they know the highway routes, the service stations, and how to make the drive comfortable.

Local & Long Distance Taxi Pricing

Local trips run on the meter as normal - you'll pay for the distance and time. For longer regional trips, we offer fixed-price quotes so you know exactly what you'll pay upfront. Call us with your destination and we'll give you both options. Generally, fixed price works out similar to or slightly less than the meter for long trips.
