Taxi Clayton, 24/7 Cab Service (3168)

Clayton is home base for Silver Taxi Melbourne. Our depot is in Clayton, which means when you book a cab from 3168, you get faster pickups, better local knowledge, and a driver who knows every street, shortcut, and school zone in the area.

Whether you need a ride to Monash University, a late night pickup from Clayton Station, or an early morning run to Melbourne Airport, we are the local taxi service that actually knows Clayton.

Monash University and Medical Centre Runs

Clayton is dominated by two major institutions: Monash University Clayton Campus and Monash Medical Centre. Both generate constant demand for taxi travel, from students heading to the airport at the end of semester, to hospital visitors who cannot drive, to researchers and staff working irregular hours.

If you have an early morning outpatient appointment or a late night flight after a conference, we cover it all. Fares to Monash Medical Centre from within Clayton typically start from the $9.90 flag fall, with short in suburb trips often finishing well under $20.

Clayton Station and Train Line Connections

Clayton Station sits on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines. Many passengers prefer a short taxi ride to or from the station rather than walking or waiting for buses, especially late at night or with luggage. Silver Taxi can meet you at the Clayton Station drop off zone or pick you up after your train arrives.

Airport Transfers from Clayton

Melbourne Airport is approximately 43 km from Clayton. Our standard fare is around $104.50 ($9.90 flag fall + 43 km x $2.20/km). Between 10pm and 4am on any night, the night rate applies and the fare is approximately $110.52 ($9.90 + 43 km x $2.34/km).

Airport pickup return trips include an additional $5.26 fee. Silver Service upgrades are available for +$11, and Maxi Taxi (for groups or extra luggage) adds +$17.80.

Because our base is in Clayton, your cab arrives faster for early morning airport runs than a service driving from the CBD or inner suburbs. We recommend booking the night before for flights departing before 7am.

24/7 Local Coverage

Clayton has a mix of residential streets, the Monash Freeway corridor, research precincts on Wellington Road, and light industrial areas off Clayton Road. We service all of it. Whether you are a Monash student catching a ride home after a late study session, a medical professional finishing a night shift at MMC, or a family heading out for a weekend trip, Silver Taxi is available around the clock.
