What we cover

Events & race days we cover

If people are gathering for it, we can get your group there and home again. Our event work covers what Melbourne turns out for across the year

  • Horse racing — Flemington, Caulfield, Moonee Valley and Sandown, including the Spring Racing Carnival
  • The footy — AFL at the MCG and Marvel Stadium, plus finals and blockbuster fixtures
  • Cricket and other sport — Boxing Day Test at the MCG, the Australian Open tennis, A-League and international matches
  • Concerts and live music — arena and stadium shows across the city
  • Festivals and cultural events — food, wine and music festivals through spring and summer
  • Corporate events — conferences, awards nights, Christmas parties and client hospitality
  • Weddings, milestone birthdays and hens’ or bucks’ days that need group transport
  • Melbourne racing & major events
  • The Spring Racing Carnival is the busiest period of the year for race day transport Melbourne wide, and Flemington Racecourse is the heart of it. The Melbourne Cup runs on the first Tuesday in November — Tuesday 3 November in 2026 — alongside Derby Day, Oaks Day and Stakes Day. Public transport is packed on those days and parking near the course fills early, so a pre-booked maxi that takes your group door to door is the easy way to arrive relaxed and leave without the queue. Caulfield and Moonee Valley draw the same crowds for the Caulfield Cup and the Cox Plate.
  • It’s the same story at the big stadiums. The MCG holds one of the largest crowds in the country for AFL and the Boxing Day Test, and Marvel Stadium in the Docklands packs out for footy and concerts. Rod Laver Arena and Melbourne Park host the Australian Open and major shows, while AAMI Park handles football and rugby. When tens of thousands leave a venue at once, a driver already booked to collect your group turns the worst part of the night into the easiest — and we know the pick-up points that work around these venues, so you’re not left on a closed street.
The fleet

Our vehicles

The fleet is built for groups and their gear

  • Maxi cabs seating up to 11 passengers with room for around 10 bags — the workhorse for most event and race day groups
  • 12-seater vans for larger parties travelling together
  • SUVs and sedans for smaller groups or a couple heading to a corporate box
  • Wheelchair-accessible vehicles with the Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) accepted
  • Baby seats, capsules and boosters fitted on request for family events
  • Bringing a big crew? We’ll run several vehicles as a convoy and keep the group together — take a look at our maxi taxi fleet to see what suits your numbers.

Event transport FAQs

Your questions, answered

Call 0413 232 882 — a real person answers, any hour.

How does group event and race day transport work, and what does it cost?
You tell us the event, pick-up address, group size and timing, and we confirm the vehicles and a fixed fare before the day. There’s no meter and no surge pricing — the price is agreed up front. Exact fares depend on your pick-up location, group size and event, so call us for a quote.
Can I book the return trip in advance?
Yes, and we recommend it. Give us the finish time and we’ll have a maxi waiting nearby when the event ends, so your group skips the after-event scramble for a ride. Booking both legs together is the smoothest way to do a race day.
How many people fit in a maxi, and can you take bigger groups?
Each maxi cab seats up to 11 passengers with room for around 10 bags. For larger groups we put on extra vehicles — 12-seater vans and additional maxis — and coordinate them so everyone travels and arrives together.
Where do you drop off and pick up at big venues like the MCG or Flemington?
We use the drop-off and pick-up points that work best around each venue, allowing for the road closures and clearways that come with big crowds. Your driver arranges a clear meeting spot for the return so you’re not searching in the crush.
Do you cover the Melbourne Cup and the footy?
Yes. We run groups to and from the Spring Racing Carnival at Flemington — including Melbourne Cup Day — plus Caulfield, Moonee Valley, and AFL at the MCG and Marvel Stadium. Book early for peak race days, as they’re our busiest.
Are you available 24 hours for events?
Yes. Quick Maxi Cab operates 24 hours a day, every day, so we cover early race-day starts and late-finishing concerts across Melbourne.
