Getting a ride at the airport
At VCE, follow signs for the managed taxi rank or the designated app pickup area. Ignore unsolicited offers inside the terminal, confirm the vehicle before boarding and check any airport surcharge or fixed-fare rule.
Check the terminal on your ticket and official signs after landing. A booking should specify the meeting point and arrangements for flight delays.
Airport pickup areas may be separated by terminal and service type. Check the official airport instructions shortly before arrival.
