Book SUV Taxi In Baxter

The general breakdowns for standard SUV taxi capacity include:

1. Maximum Luggage Configuration (Best for Airport Runs)

If you have a standard amount of heavy holiday or international luggage, the third row of seats must be folded down flat to maximize boot space.

• Passenger Capacity: Up to 4 passengers (1 in the front, 3 in the middle row).

• Luggage Capacity: Approximately 4 to 5 large suitcases plus 3 to 4 smaller cabin bags/backpacks.

• Ideal for: A standard family heading to the airport with bulky check-in bags, a pram, or oversized gear like golf clubs or surfboard bags.

2. Maximum Passenger Configuration (Best for Group Nights Out)

If you need to fill the seats, the third row is raised, which significantly restricts the remaining boot space.

• Passenger Capacity: Up to 6 passengers (1 in the front, 3 in the middle row, 2 in the back row).

• Luggage Capacity: Very limited. Approximately 1 to 2 small cabin bags or soft duffel bags. Large hard-shell suitcases will not fit in the remaining boot space when all 6 seats are occupied.

• Ideal for: A group of friends or colleagues heading out for dinner or a corporate event where no one is carrying heavy luggage.

Key Tips to Keep in Mind:

• The “High Occupancy” Fee: In Victoria, if you travel with 5 or more passengers (or require a larger vehicle to move bulky items that wouldn’t fit in a standard sedan), a regulated High Occupancy fee (currently $16.35) is added to the metered fare.

• Sedan vs. SUV vs. Maxi Taxi:

  • Standard Sedan: Fits up to 4 passengers + 2 large suitcases. (Note: Many Melbourne sedan cabs use hybrid or LPG tanks which take up boot space).

  • SUV: Fits up to 6 passengers (no luggage) OR 4 passengers (heavy luggage).

  • Maxi Taxi (Minibus): If you have 5+ passengers AND heavy airport luggage, skip the SUV and book a Maxi Taxi. An 11-seater Maxi Taxi can comfortably handle 6 passengers alongside 6–8 large international suitcases.
