Get to Know About Melbourne Maxi Taxis Fare Structure

In a hurry, you come out of your office/home and would like to jump in a cab for your next assignment. You see, first cab passing by and try to hail it down but the driver simply drives away without bothering to stop for you. Dishearten you try doing this desperately for every passing cab.

Whether you hail a cab from the street or book online from many providers like Book Maxi Cab Melbourne, the vehicle must meet the same basic safety requirements expected of all passenger vehicles on our roads. Taxis engaging in rank and hail work will need to meet additional requirements such as installing cameras to reflect the anonymous nature of the rank and hail work.

Well the best thing would be to find the nearest taxi rank and try to jump in a cab. In Melbourne generally you can pick and get into any cab from a taxi rank but doing so could make the driver of the first cab waiting on the rank go crazy. Because the drivers expect that the first cab on the rank has the privilege of taking the next customer. So it will be a cool idea to make your journey smooth to get into the first taxi in the rank from which ever rank you are hailing the cab from.

As soon you get into the cab after your welcome greetings from the driver the first thing a taxi driver expect is that where you would be heading to? So the good idea is to inform the Taxi driver as soon as you can about your destination address. Once done with the address if you have any particular route to be followed please update him accordingly. The reason being to get to a particular route there could be N number of possibilities and it is highly possible with some dodgy or unprofessional drivers take you through the costlier route. End of the day he is getting more money out of it.

If you are new to the city it is recommended that you do your homework of the route where you are going to try to use Google maps as it will give you various possible route options to make it to your destination.

Now, it is also a very good idea to get a fare estimate of how much it might cost you to get to your destination from your place if you hire a Taxi. There are various sites on the internet where you can easily try to get an estimate of the taxi fare. We at Book Maxi Cab Melbourne also do such favour to our esteemed clients. Once quoted if you book with us you wont end up paying anything extra at the end of the trip.

If your just looking to know an estimate but still want to go by the meter you are open to do but might cost you more or less depending on the road and traffic conditions.

Going by the meter as soon as you jump into the cab the driver will start the meter and you at the end of the journey you pay whatever it comes up on the meter. For general information let me tell you that Taxi Meters in Victoria operates in differently at different times. Below I will list the details for everybody to understand.

If you are using the cab between 9am to 5pm the flag fall will start at $4.20 and the clock ticks at $1.62 per kilometer but at the same time if the traffic is heavy and you are crawling with a speed of less than 21km the ticking of the clocks falls to $0.56 per kilometer.

If the cab is being used between 5pm to 9am the flag fall starts with $5.20 and the clocks ticking will be set at $1.80 per kilometer. Crawling in the traffic with speed less than 21Km/H the ticking comes down to $0.63 per kilometer.But for the weekend it is a different tariff rates apart from what I listed above. There is a special tariff on weekends (Friday & Saturday) if you hire a taxi between 10pm and 4am

The flag fall between 10p.m to 4a.m on weekend starts with $6.20 and the kilometre rates will be $1.98. Which means for every kilometer travelled you will end up paying almost $2 and if you caught in a mid night city traffic and travelling at a speed less than 21kmph than the ticking goes by $0.69 per kilometer.

This weekend tariffs is applicable not only on Friday and Saturday but for all the time on Christmas day, Boxing day, New years day and from 6pm at New years eve until midnight at the end of the New year day. So when you jump in a cab with metered fare you should be aware with these tariffs a taxi operates with.

So it is good to be aware that a trip between same place but at a different time can end up costing you a different amount.

Now since we are taking about hailing a taxi from the rank or a passing by taxi one should remember that the booking fee of $2 does not apply for taxis hailed from the rank or flagged passing on the street.

Maxi Taxi rates are exactly same as all the listed above except that when there are more than 4 passengers the driver is eligible to charge you with a High Occupancy Vehicle fee (Maxi Cab fee) of $14 which will add up to the entire fare at the end of the journey. Unlike other cities of Australia, for example Brisbane where HOV fee cannot be applied if the Maxi cab is hailed while passing by. It can only be charged when you book for that specific type of taxi, in Melbourne this fee is applicable whether you hail it from then rank or book it through Book Maxi Cab Melbourne.

All the above tarrifs are set by Essential Service Commission (ESV) in Victoria

Now a day in Melbourne it is legal for the driver to ask for an upfront amount of the appropriate fare. This was not there earlier like a couple of years back and when there is a fare evader a driver would end up with lost income and time. So to tackle the menace of fare evaders this policy has been in place. Always while prepay remember to ask for your invoice from the driver. Invoice have all the details like Taxi number, Driver's authorization number, Date and Time of travel and Amount paid and the cab company to which that particular cab is attached with. This is a very good piece of information if you happen to leave behind any of your valuables in the hire Maxi Van Taxi.

It is good to remember that if your soil the Maxi Cab and or Taxi you are liable to clean it to a reasonable level so that next whoever getting in does not feel uncleanliness. A Maxi Taxi Melbourne driver is eligible to charge you for the cleaning up to a maximum of $120 soiling the cab with food drinks or any bodily fluids. So it's always a good idea to carry a vomit bag with you while going out for a party.

A CPVV levy fee of $1.10 which incl GST is applicable to Taxi or Maxi taxi hired for the trip. It is applicable whether you hail a taxi from the rank or book it through providers like Book Maxi Cab Melbourne. This fee was introduced from 1st July 2018 and is applicable not only in Taxis but in all the ride sharing services. This levy was introduced to fund the transition package for former taxi and hire car license owners and also to improve services to passengers with disability.

If you are hiring a Maxi Taxi Melbourne airport one must know that it has to pass through the toll way and the cost of tolls for Citylink from Melbourne to Melbourne Airport is $6.3 and if you are travelling from South Eastern suburbs the toll cost could be around $8.1. Similarly the tolls involve on Eastlink are $2.85 for the Melba tunnel and $5.58 for Melba Tunnel and any part of east link

Melbourne airport maxi taxi access fee is around $3.65. So if you hail or book a Taxi from Melbourne Airport the customer has to pay this fee.

Fixed Fares: Agreed Pay and Go

We at Book Maxi Cab Melbourne always prefer to go with Fixed fares rather than Metered. Fixed fare always is a peace of mind to go with. Once a fare is mutually agreed between Maxi taxi company and customer the rest of the journey is then hassled free. It is a win-win situation for both the parties. One can imagine how appealing it would be when you know what exactly you will be paying before even you start your journey.

These Fixed price Maxi Vans can lead to a Reliable, Enjoyable and Cheap maxi taxi ride around the town. Reliable because if you go by meter the longer the route a driver takes the customer end up paying more and drivers make money out of it. Customers from outside Australia who don't have much local knowledge about the route end up paying a costly ride. When fixed price comes into effect you don't need to bother a bit, which way you are being taken. Enjoyable obviously because there is no last minute surprise of paying anything extra this ultimately leads to a cheap ride around.

We expect that customers update us with a complete journey rather than just coming up with last minute changes, because the way fixed fare works is, it is calculated based on the distance between point A and point B. If while booking, we are informed about any deviations in the journey it will help us give you an exact estimate which would avoid last min disagreement.

When a fare is mutually agreed between Maxi Cab Company and customer it is based on the time of the journey as stated by the customer. It is expected that customer should abide by the time which he booked for. If any changes, then it is ethical to call us back and update us with the latest changes. This way you are preventing someone's time being spoiled. Please remember that our driver works against all the odds to make it on time to the pickup address. It will be disheartening to discover that the customer is not yet ready and asking more time or letting the driver wait with no extra pay. Please remember that we are in the market to help you move from your pickup address to your destination at a set time. If customer does not honour the time it would be difficult for us to provide high quality service.

Customer should be aware that when a fare is agreed with Maxi Taxi Melbourne we are talking in terms of Cash. If a customer prefers to pay through the card, it can be any card, credit card, debit card, Key card it will cost them 5% Service fee, which is charged to them by their financial institute for using the card in taxis. Neither the company nor the driver will get a cent out of it.

Fixed fares cover almost everything from booking fees, tolls, maxi taxi surcharge and Melbourne airport parking fee for Maxi taxis. It is quoted for the ease of customer so that a customer feel relaxed and have saving with him as he never have to spend anything over what he is being promised for.

With Set fare customer can be at ease for various issues like which route driver taking but Book Maxi Cab Melbourne expect our drivers to take the shortest and quickest route possible.

There might be an instance when due to circumstances a detour is unavoidable. The detour can be lengthy and in most cases it can be very crowdie as many other vehicles try to go through. In such cases set fare is no less than a blessing.

Peak hour traffic, whether going to catch a flight from Melbourne Airport or trying to rush back from Melbourne airport to office or home. On the travel season, especially events like Footy finals or Spring racing festival Tullamarine freeway will be too busy to commute from. But we don't have an alternate if you are travelling to the city or south east suburbs. Even in these tough traffic conditions set fare or fixed fare comes as a blessing in disguise where in customer savings is given top priority rather than throwing away extra cash in a taxi for no fault of yours.

Fixed fares are calculated taking into account all the above mentioned route challenges and the main engine behind this calculation is provided by the CPVV's taxi fare calculator. This will give you an idea of how much you can expect the fare to be from point A to Point B. But one thing to keep in mind is this is just an estimate as to what could be the fare. The final amount can go higher of bit lower depending on the traffic and road conditions.

With fixed fares, we would like to offer the customer a flat rate 24*7 and 365 days without any surge pricing as most of the other ride-sharing companies do. No matter how busy or how crowded it is you would never hear from us about surge pricing. Prices will always be reachable and affordable for the customer from all walks of life. Surge pricing is no less than a shock for the customers hard earned money. Book Maxi Cab Melbourne takes that uncertainty out by fixing the fares, customer knows what exactly he pays before he gets in a Maxi Taxi.

Apart from many benefits, it gives customers a chance to manage their budget. Since customer knows what he will pay beforehand they can plan another thing which they could not if go by the metered fare of through surge pricing. No need to keep an eye on the Maxi cab meter and no need to worry about getting stuck in the traffic. If on Meter you are paying to sit in the traffic. What for? It's not your fault. Customer can utilize that money on himself for many other important reasons.

In Fixed fare with Book Maxi Cab the Customers are getting the same level of quality for a competitive price with round the clock service entire year. Customers pay in the form of Cash or pay by Card, whichever you are at ease with.
