How Airport Pickup Works
When your flight lands, your driver is already waiting, not at the taxi rank outside, but inside at the arrivals hall with a name sign.
Here is exactly what to expect at each terminal.
T1: Qantas Domestic
Your driver meets you in the Ground Transport area at the T1 exit, past the baggage carousels. Name sign held at the kerb-side pickup zone.
T2: International
Your driver waits in the International Arrivals Hall on Level 2, past Customs and Quarantine. Look for a sign with your name. Allow extra time for Customs
T3: Virgin Domestic
Driver waits at the T3 Arrivals exit, just outside baggage claim. If the T3 car park is busy, your driver will call you and meet at the roadside pickup point.
T4: Jetstar
Driver meets you outside T4 Arrivals at the ground-level pickup area. Call (+61) 491 171 676 when you have your bag, driver will confirm the exact spot.
Flight Delayed? No Charge, No Stress.
We monitor every flight via live tracking. If your flight is delayed, your driver adjusts automatically. Waiting time for delays is included at no extra charge.

Premium Melbourne Cab Instead of Rideshare?
Rideshare apps use surge pricing during peak demand. Early morning flights (4am to 7am) and late-night arrivals (10pm to midnight) are exactly when prices can spike 2 to 3 times. With Premium Melbourne Cab, your fare is fixed at the time of booking, regardless of traffic, demand, or the time of day. If your flight is delayed, your driver tracks your arrival and waits for you—no rebooking and no extra charges.
We are also TAC and WorkSafe approved, accept Cabcharge for corporate and medical passengers, and provide child seats at no extra cost upon request.
