How charter works

Maxi taxi hire by the hour

With hourly hire, you’re not paying for a single trip from A to B — you’re booking the vehicle and driver for a set period. Hire a maxi cab with a driver for two hours, half a day or a full day, and use that time however suits you. The driver waits while you’re inside a meeting, a shop or a venue, then takes you on to the next stop. It’s the difference between chasing a new cab at every location and having your ride parked and ready whenever you walk out.

Because the fare is based on time rather than a fixed point-to-point route, hourly hire works out simpler for days with several stops or an itinerary that might change on the fly. You agree the rate up front, and that’s the price — one booking that covers the whole outing.

How hourly hire works

It’s a straightforward setup. Tell us when you’d like to start, roughly how long you’ll need the vehicle, and the kind of stops you have in mind. We’ll confirm the hourly or day rate and the minimum booking, then lock in your driver and vehicle for that block of time.

On the day, your driver arrives at the agreed time and stays with you throughout. Add a stop, change the order, or linger a little longer at one place — the plan is yours to adjust as you go. There’s no need to re-book or flag down a new cab between stops, and you settle up on one agreed price at the end rather than a fresh fare each time.

Why us

Why choose Quick Maxi Cab

  • Same driver, every stop

    You keep the one vehicle and the one driver for the whole booking. They learn the plan, know where the next stop is, and are parked and ready whenever you’re done — no waiting on the kerb for a fresh cab.

  • One agreed price

    Hourly and day fares are agreed before you start, with no surge pricing at peak times, on weekends or public holidays. You know the number going in, and it doesn’t jump because it’s raining or the calendar says holiday.

  • Room for the group and the gear

    Up to 11 seats, 12-seater vans for bigger parties, and space for the bags and shopping means everyone travels together instead of splitting across cars.

  • Local, around the clock

    Based in Lalor and covering greater Melbourne, we run 24 hours a day, every day. A real person answers when you call, and our drivers know the city’s routes — so an early start or a late finish is no trouble.

Hourly hire FAQs

Your questions, answered

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

How does hourly hire pricing work?
Hourly hire is charged on a time-based rate rather than a fixed point-to-point fare — you’re booking the vehicle and driver for a block of time, so it covers as many stops as you fit into it. We agree the rate before you start and that’s the price you pay..
Is there a minimum booking?
Yes, hourly hire has a minimum number of hours per booking. The exact minimum depends on the day and vehicle, so tell us what you’re planning and we’ll confirm it up front..
Can the driver wait between stops?
That’s the whole idea. Your driver stays with you for the full booking and waits while you’re at each stop, then takes you on to the next one. There’s no re-booking and no chasing a new cab between locations.
How many passengers can you take?
Our maxi cabs seat up to 11 passengers with room for around 10 bags, and we have 12-seater vans for larger groups. Smaller trips can go by SUV or sedan, and wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available on request.
What do people use hourly hire for?
All sorts — multi-stop appointment days, race days and weddings, sightseeing and day tours, big shopping trips, and showing visiting family or interstate guests around town. If your day has several stops, hourly hire usually beats booking separate fares.
How do I book hourly hire?
Call 0413 232 882 or email [email protected] with your date, start time, rough duration and passenger numbers. We’ll confirm the hourly or day rate and the minimum booking, then hold your vehicle and driver for the day.
