Most international visitors want to hit the ground running, yet figuring out local transport in a new country takes time and energy they would rather spend elsewhere.
For travel agents, recommending a taxi service that works consistently across the country takes one real variable off the itinerary.
That’s where 13cabs comes in. As Australia’s largest taxi network, 13cabs operates over 10,000 vehicles with professional, police-checked drivers on the road around the clock. The network covers every major city, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, as well as regional centres like the Gold Coast and Townsville.
Here’s how that nationwide presence helps international visitors, and why it’s a practical addition to any Australian itinerary.
Keeping groups together
Travelling as a group in an unfamiliar city comes with its own set of logistics. 13cabs MAXI TAXIs seat up to 10 passengers in a single vehicle, so families and larger groups can stay together and arrive at once without the back-and-forth of coordinating multiple separate rides.
Knowing the fare before the trip starts
For travellers who like to plan ahead, 13cabs offers a fixed fare option that passengers can choose to lock in before the trip begins. Rather than waiting to see what the meter reads at the end, travellers can agree to a set price upfront and know it will not change. Here’s how to use it:
- Open the 13cabs App or visit the 13cabs booking page and enter a pickup location and destination
- Select the fixed fare option and review the quoted price
- Pay by card to confirm and lock the fare in
- The price stays the same regardless of traffic, time of day or demand
Paying without local cash
For international travellers, sorting out local currency is one of those small but time-consuming tasks that adds unnecessary friction to a trip. With 13cabs, clients don’t need to worry about it. The service accepts a range of payment methods that international visitors are already familiar with, including:
- Credit and debit cards
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- PayPal
- Cabcharge
That flexibility means clients are not limited to cash and can use payment methods they’re already comfortable with.
Getting transport sorted before departure
Australia’s major cities are busy, and timing matters when clients are working through a packed itinerary. Rather than leaving transport to chance, 13cabs allows rides to be booked up to seven days in advance.
For day trips, scheduled activities or any part of the itinerary where being on time counts, having a ride already confirmed takes one more thing off the list.
Plan Australian city travel with confidence
A well-planned itinerary goes beyond flights and accommodation. Getting around a new country confidently is a big part of the overall experience, and sorting transport before a client leaves home is one of the most practical recommendations a travel agent can make.
By choosing 13cabs, agents give their clients a reliable and consistent way to navigate Australia throughout their stay. The service is easy to use and available 24/7, with bookings accepted through the 13cabs App, the website or by calling 13 2227.
