About Southbank
Southbank is located immediately south of the Yarra River, just 1 km from the Melbourne CBD in postcode 3006. It is one of the most densely developed precincts in the city, home to Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex, the Melbourne Arts Centre, the National Gallery of Victoria, and the Southgate dining and shopping strip along the riverside promenade. The suburb is heavily residential with a large number of apartment towers, and the population tends to be a mix of young professionals, international students, and inner city dwellers who work nearby. Despite being close to the CBD, Southbank is not particularly well served by train. Residents rely heavily on trams along St Kilda Road and City Road, or on foot for short trips across the river. Taxis are in constant use here given the volume of hotel guests, Crown Casino visitors arriving and departing at all hours, and the nightly foot traffic from arts and theatre events. Many residents of the apartment buildings use taxis for airport runs and night travel where trams are infrequent. Silver Taxi picks up and drops off throughout Southbank, including Crown, the Southgate precinct, and the riverside apartment towers. A fare from Southbank to Melbourne Airport typically comes to between $65 and $80. Call 0412 456 588 for a booking or use the online form to schedule a pick up in advance for an early morning flight.
Taxi Service in Southbank: Crown Casino, Arts Centre and Hotels
Southbank is one of the busiest pickup and drop off zones in Melbourne. Crown Casino runs around the clock, Arts Centre performances typically end around 11pm, and the riverside hotels keep a steady flow of guests arriving and departing at all hours. Silver Taxi Melbourne covers Southbank 24 hours a day, including Crown, Southgate, the Arts Centre precinct, and all the apartment and hotel towers along St Kilda Road.
We do not use surge pricing. Whether you are booking at 8pm on a concert night or at 2am after a Crown session, you pay a fixed metered rate with no peak multiplier on top.
Crown Casino and Late Night Pickups
Crown is open every night of the year, and late night pickups are one of the most requested jobs in Southbank. At 1am or 2am on a busy night, everyone has the same idea about grabbing a taxi from the rank. Rideshare apps price high when demand spikes.
Booking in advance with Silver Taxi takes that uncertainty away. Call before you finish up at Crown and your driver will be at the main entrance or your designated pickup point when you walk out. We know the Crown drop zones and can navigate around event traffic. Call 0412 456 588 from inside and let us know your exit.
Arts Centre, NGV and Evening Events
The Arts Centre, Recital Centre, and NGV draw large crowds on weekends and many weeknights. If you are coming from Melbourne for a show, book in advance your ride home before you go in. Most performances end between 10pm and 11pm, which puts you right in the window when street taxis are hardest to find.
We pick up from Southbank Promenade, St Kilda Road, and the Arts Centre forecourt. Your driver will confirm the exact spot when you call.

If you are staying at one of the Southbank hotels and need a pickup for an early flight, a business meeting, or a trip back to Melbourne, we handle hotel pickups throughout the precinct. Give us your hotel name and lobby location when you call.
