Taxi Cranbourne, 24/7 Cab Service (3977)

Cranbourne sits at the southern terminus of the Cranbourne line, one of Melbourne’s major rail corridors. While the train serves commuters heading into the city, it does not go to the airport, which means most Cranbourne residents needing to fly out rely on taxi transport for the final leg, or the whole journey, to Melbourne Airport.

Silver Taxi Melbourne covers Cranbourne from a Clayton base, with 24/7 service, licensed drivers, and metered fares at standard Melbourne taxi rates.

Cranbourne Station: The End of the Line

Cranbourne Station is the last stop on the Cranbourne line, connecting the suburb to the Melbourne CBD via stops through Dandenong, Clayton, and Caulfield. For passengers arriving at Cranbourne Station late at night, we can meet you at the station drop off zone and take you home. For those heading out, we can collect you from home and deliver you directly to the airport.

The station is also a starting point for passengers who have driven from further south and parked at Cranbourne to catch the train. If parking is a concern, a direct taxi from Cranbourne home can be more practical than driving to the station and paying daily parking.

Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne

The Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne is a major attraction in the suburb, drawing visitors from across Victoria and interstate. The garden’s Australian plants section is one of the finest displays of native flora in the country. For visitors needing transport to or from the gardens, Silver Taxi can cover pickups and drop offs at the main entrance on Ballarto Road.
