Taxi Services in Dandenong
Silver Taxi Melbourne is based in Clayton, about 11 kilometres from Dandenong, and covers Dandenong 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We take airport transfers, business trips, hospital appointments, market and shopping runs and late night rides home, in a standard sedan, Silver Service, an SUV or a Maxi Taxi.
Our drivers work Melbourne's south east every day, so they know the Dandenong streets, the station and hospital drop off points and the quickest way onto the Monash Freeway. Call 0412 456 588 or book online, and you see an estimate before you travel.
About Dandenong
Dandenong is the centre of the City of Greater Dandenong, postcode 3175, about 34 kilometres south east of the Melbourne CBD by road. It is one of the most culturally diverse places in Australia, and the town centre shows it, from Little India on Foster Street and the Afghan Bazaar on Thomas Street to the Dandenong Market on Cleeland Street, one of the largest fresh produce markets in Victoria.
Dandenong Plaza, the Drum Theatre and Harmony Square sit within a few minutes' walk of each other in the middle of town. The industrial estates to the south have their own page at Dandenong South, and the residential streets to the north are on our Dandenong North page. This page covers the town centre and the streets around it.
Dandenong Station Pickups
Dandenong Station is the last stop the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines share before they split, so late arrivals from the city are a steady part of our work here, along with passengers who live too far from the station to walk. Call 0412 456 588 with your train arrival time and a driver will be waiting.
Dandenong Hospital and Medical
We take patients and visitors to Dandenong Hospital on David Street for appointments, admissions and discharges, and drivers help with bags and with getting in and out of the car. Regular treatment trips can be set up as standing bookings, and we drive TAC and WorkSafe clients whose claim includes transport. See our TAC and WorkSafe taxi page for more.
Dandenong Plaza and Retail
We pick up and drop off at every Dandenong Plaza entrance and at the Dandenong Market on Cleeland Street, where a sedan boot or an SUV makes light work of the weekly shop. For an early market run, book the evening before.
Silver Service Taxi in Dandenong
Silver Service is our premium tier: a late model executive sedan, kept clean inside and out, and a driver in a suit who helps with your bags at both ends of the trip. It runs on the same meter as a standard taxi plus a set $11 Silver Service surcharge, with the same payment options, including Cabcharge.
Dandenong customers book it for early airport runs, client and staff pickups for businesses in the Dandenong South industrial precinct, hospital discharges where a smoother ride matters, and dinners and special occasions. Ask for Silver Service when you call 0412 456 588, or read more about Silver Service taxis in Melbourne.
