Our Newcastle taxi service
We pick up across Newcastle and the lower Hunter, including Newcastle city, Merewether, Charlestown, Lake Macquarie suburbs and Maitland, by arrangement.
Most of our Newcastle trips are long-distance: airport runs to T1 International and T2/T3 Domestic, trips into the Sydney CBD, cruise terminal transfers and pickups for family visits, hospital appointments and events. Because every trip is booked ahead, your driver arrives at your door at the agreed time rather than at a rank.
For short local hops inside Newcastle, a local rank cab is usually the quicker choice. For the longer runs to and from Sydney, a fixed fare beats a meter every time.
