HOW TO CATCH A CAB

There are four ways you can catch a taxi in Perth, being:

1. Ring a Taxi Company
The main taxi companies in Perth are:

  • Swan Taxis Phone 131330
  • Black & White Taxis Phone 131008

2. Go to a taxi rank
Perth boasts two types of taxi rank stands, being:

  • Conventional ranks located at shopping centres, hotels, airports, main rail stations and in and around the CBD
  • supervised taxi ranks (security guards patrol these special night ranks)

3. Hail a cab
Waive your hands and signal to a driver of a passing taxi. Don’t get too upset if the taxi doesn’t stop - they could be on the way to pick up a passenger or be delivering a parcel.

4. Make an arrangement direct with a driver
