I needed an early morning cab from Epping to Melbourne Airport and honestly wasn't sure who to call. A quick search for a reliable taxi service in Melbourne led me to Melbourne Top Taxi Service — and I'm glad it did. The driver was on time, the car was clean, silver service and I made my flight without any stress. Later, after two days I needed a pickup from Melbourne Airport back to Epping I got picked up at the airport express pick up area during peak hour.Traffic was heavy, but the driver navigated it well and kept me updated the whole way. If you need a reliable cab service available early morning, a same day taxi booking in Melbourne, or a 24 hour taxi you can actually count on, this is it.

One of the best Airport transfer I had experience in Melbourne. Ali was excellent in communication and on time arrival, even 15 mins before agreed time. The car was squeaky clean and almost brand new. The space of luggage was pre agreed and no hassle at all. The drop off was perfect and can’t be more relaxed and tension free. I would definitely recommend to anyone.Posted on Google Ben MorrisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been using Ali and his crew for a couple of years now and they have been incredibly reliable, friendly, clean and easy to use. The service is top tier, from booking to arriving at my destination. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
Tullamarine is Melbourne's main international and domestic airport, roughly 23 kilometres from the CBD. We cover every suburb to Tullamarine, every day of the year. Most runs from the northern suburbs (Glenroy, Coburg, Essendon) take 15 to 25 minutes in normal traffic. See our Melbourne airport taxi page for suburb-specific detail.
Avalon sits in Lara, about 55 kilometres south-west of Melbourne CBD. It handles Jetstar domestic routes and some international charter flights. The transfer from CBD takes around 50 to 60 minutes. We cover Avalon too — WhatsApp us your pickup suburb for a fixed fare quote.

A long late-night trip home to south-west Victoria, with a punctual pickup and a comfortable Lexus for the journey.
I had a fantastic experience with this taxi service for my late-night return from the airport to Warrnambool. They were impressively punctual, showing up right on time. The Lexus was an excellent choice, spotlessly clean, spacious, and much more comfortable than a standard taxi.
