When you need a ride in Melbourne, two main options come to mind: booking a Silver Taxi or calling an Uber. While both get you from A to B, there are some key differences — and local passengers are increasingly choosing Silver Taxis for good reason. Here’s why Ride13 Cabs is your best choice:
1. Fixed Fares — No Surge Pricing
Uber prices fluctuate depending on time and demand. With Silver Taxis, you get predictable pricing — no surprises, even during peak hours or bad weather.
2. Licensed and Vetted Drivers
Silver Taxi drivers are professionally licensed, insured, and know the city well. Unlike ride-share drivers, they undergo strict background checks.
3. Melbourne Experts Behind the Wheel
Our drivers know local streets, shortcuts, and traffic patterns — no GPS over-reliance or unnecessary detours.
4. 24/7 Service with Guaranteed Availability
Ride13 Cabs offers around-the-clock service. Whether it’s 2 AM or midday, we’re ready to get you to your destination safely.
5. Ideal for Airport Transfers
