Vehicle types

Our Vehicle Types — Sedan to 11 Seater

Five vehicle types can be requested through the booking form. The list narrows automatically as your passenger count rises, so the options you see always fit the group.

  • 1 to 11 passengers
  • Luggage counted separately
  • Accessible vehicles on request

What you can request

Vehicle types and capacities

Capacities below are the passenger numbers the booking form allows for each vehicle.

The standard option for everyday trips. Suits up to four passengers with hand luggage or a couple of cases. The default vehicle when you open the booking form.

Up to 4 passengers

Standard option

Premium

Same passenger capacity as a sedan, in a higher-specification vehicle. A common choice for client pickups and airport arrivals.

Up to 4 passengers

Interior of a clean seven seat maxi van seen from the open side door

Standard option

Maxi (7 seater)

A van-bodied maxi cab for groups, families and trips with more luggage than a sedan will take. Extra passenger charges apply above four passengers.

Up to 7 passengers

High roof wheelchair accessible van seen from the rear three-quarter angle

Confirmed by dispatch

Wheelchair accessible taxi

A ramp-equipped vehicle for passengers travelling seated in a wheelchair, with floor anchors to secure the chair. Availability is confirmed by dispatch after the request is sent.

Step-free, ramp-equipped

Rear view of an extended eleven seat van on an open road

Confirmed by dispatch

11 seater

The largest option, and the one the form keeps available for eight or more passengers. Extra passenger charges apply above eight. Availability is confirmed by dispatch.

Up to 11 passengers

Choosing

Passengers first, then luggage

Set the passenger count before you choose a vehicle. Options that cannot carry that many people are greyed out with a note, so you cannot accidentally book a sedan for six.

Luggage is counted separately, from 0 to 7. A group that fits a maxi on headcount may still need the 11 seater once a full set of suitcases is added, so count the bags honestly.

  • Sedan and Premium — up to 4 passengers
  • Maxi — up to 7 passengers
  • 11 seater — the option that remains available at 8 or more

On request

Accessible vehicles and the 11 seater

Wheelchair accessible vehicles and the 11 seater are a smaller part of any Sydney fleet. Selecting one sends a request, and dispatch confirms availability after the booking is received rather than at the moment you submit.

Booking ahead gives more room to arrange one. Northern Silver Taxi Sydney is a booking and dispatch service — we arrange a licensed driver, and the driver operates the vehicle.

  • Request these vehicle types as far ahead as you can
  • Advance bookings can be placed up to 90 days out
  • Add access details in the notes field
