Where are the taxi ranks at Melbourne Airport?
Melbourne Airport taxi ranks are located outside Terminal 1, outside Terminal 2 and at the Terminal 4 Transport Hub. If you need a taxi after landing, use the designated taxi rank for your terminal.
At Terminal 1, you can also use the taxi booking kiosk near the exit. It lets you book a cab with a fixed price, giving you peace of mind knowing exactly what you’ll pay before you travel.
The kiosk gives you clear directions to your allocated pick-up bay after you book and pay. Your ticket shows the bay you need to head to, making the process easy to follow after your flight.
Booking at the Terminal 1 kiosk takes three simple steps:
- Book your trip: Enter your destination and select your vehicle type.
- Pay your fare: Pay the fixed price and receive a ticket with your unique code.
- Meet your taxi: Head to the pick-up zone and find the marked bay shown on your ticket.
For your safety, use the designated Melbourne Airport taxi rank or the Terminal 1 taxi booking kiosk rather than accepting unsolicited offers for a ride around the terminal.
