At Melbourne 1300 Taxi we aim to make cancellations and refunds straightforward and fair. This policy explains when you can cancel a booking, how refunds are handled, and what to expect after you request one. Please keep your booking confirmation handy when contacting us.
Cancellation Timeframes
- Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 30 minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
- Cancellations made within 30 minutes of pickup may incur a cancellation fee to cover driver travel time and costs.
- For pre-booked airport or long-distance transfers, different cancellation windows may apply; these will be shown at the time of booking.
When Refunds Apply
- If you paid in advance and cancel in the free cancellation window, you will receive a full refund of the prepaid amount.
- Partial refunds may be issued if a cancellation fee applies; the fee amount will be clearly communicated at the time of cancellation.
- No refund will be provided for no-shows or cancellations made after the driver has arrived at the pickup location.
How to Request a Refund
- Request a cancellation or refund through the same channel you used to book (website, app, or by replying to your booking confirmation email).

Refund Processing
