How a taxi saves the day when plans change last minute
In a state as large as Queensland, having a reliable taxi service makes it easier to get where you need to go.
A footy game goes into overtime, rain sets in over Caxton Street in Brisbane or a long lunch runs way past schedule. When a day takes an unexpected turn, sticking to fixed transport options like trains or buses is not always practical.
In a state as spread out as Queensland, direct door-to-door travel is often the easiest backup plan. A reliable taxi service from 13cabs, Australia’s largest taxi network, offers that flexibility, handling last-minute detours, late nights and group drop-offs with total ease.
Getting a cab quickly when the plan shifts
Need a ride in a hurry? You can grab a taxi with 13cabs right across Queensland using the app, the website, the phone line on 13 2227 or simply by hailing one on the street. Having choices like that makes sorting a trip much simpler when your day takes a turn.
Some days using the app is easiest. Other times, a raised hand on the kerb outside a Fortitude Valley venue is all it takes to get you on your way. With cabs on the road around the clock, there is usually one close by whatever the hour.

A cab that fits the whole group
When a group gets bigger, you just need a vehicle to match. A 13cabs MAXI TAXI carries everyone in one go rather than having to split into separate cars. It’s the easy answer when a delayed flight into Brisbane Airport turns a solo trip into five people with plenty of luggage.
Of course, not every trip needs that much space. A standard sedan handles the everyday solo run, while passengers using a wheelchair or mobility aid can book Wheelchair Accessible Taxis through 13cabs, complete with secure anchor points, trained drivers and official NDIS support.
See the price and track your cab
A late-night change of plan is much easier when you know what the ride will cost. A 13cabs fare is based on regulated rates, so prices do not surge when demand is high across the city.
If you prefer to know the cost beforehand, you can check the online fare estimator or choose a fixed price when booking through the app, even during peak hours, public holidays or busy weekend nights.
When you book on the app, you can track your taxi in real time. Drivers with 13cabs are police-checked, uniformed and professionally trained, making it easy to identify the right vehicle when it arrives. Business travellers can also pay by card or Cabcharge, with a receipt sent straight to their inbox.
Get your day back on track
A last-minute change already gives you enough to think about, without travel adding to it. Getting where you need to go should be the easiest part of your day.
Need a quick ride across town, extra space for a group or clear pricing without surge fees? Backed by more than 40 years on Australian roads, 13cabs is a reliable alternative to rideshare when you need to adapt on the fly. You can focus on what you are doing, knowing a dependable ride is ready when you are.
So next time things take an unexpected turn, simply book a cab online, through the app or over the phone with 13cabs.
