Automatic Dial 13CABS

We are proud to deliver the official 13CABS mobile booking App. We hope you enjoy it as much as you will no doubt find it useful.

13CABS App was created for Melbourne’s discerning cab travelling public who want to save time and money when booking their cabs. Simply by-pass call queues and hold times altogether with this brilliant App, especially useful during peak periods such as Friday and Saturday nights.

13CABS commitment to customer service is evident in the user-friendly and intuitive interface. Boasting superior functionality to any existing cab booking App in Australia, users can book cabs direct to their location with ease via the phone’s built-in GPS.

13CABS App gives its users the power to make multiple bookings for future dates and times, use a list of previous locations for rapid bookings and even maintain a library of favourites to expedite future bookings.

The slick Where's My Cab? function conveniently allows users to check the status of their cab on active bookings by geographically depicting the last known location of the assigned cab, dispensing with costly call backs in the process.

Fare Estimator as it name suggests provides a good indication of how much users can expect to pay for their trip, virtually eliminating fare disputes in bookings using 13CABS App.

Find A Rank is a failsafe during peak times when bookings are heavy and available cabs can be scarce. It displays a map representing the user’s location in relation to cab ranks in their proximity.

By being able to 'Sync' with their my13CABS account, a free web service through 13CABS.com.au, users can import their entire web booking history and favourites directly into their phone if they choose.
