Taxi in Berwick,
for the hospital run and the early flight.
Berwick sits about 45 km south-east of the Melbourne CBD and roughly 65 km from Melbourne Airport. Two things dominate the work here: the Casey Hospital and medical precinct on Kangan Drive, and pre-dawn airport departures. Both are best pre-booked so a driver is committed to your time.
No payment now — our dispatcher calls you to confirm. Card, Cabcharge, MPTP and cash all accepted in the cab.
Metered fare with live tariff. Calculated using Victorian CPVV (Day Rate) tariffs plus live route data. Tolls passed through at cost.
Where we pick up around Berwick.
The old High Street village, Eden Rise and Parkhill Plaza, Berwick Station and the hospital precinct cover most pickups, plus residential streets across Berwick and into Beaconsfield and Officer. The hospital and the Federation University campus both have multiple entrances, so naming the building or gate saves a lap of the car park.

Booking a Berwick taxi: what to know
Melbourne Airport is roughly 65 km from Berwick via the Monash and the Western Ring Road, usually 60 to 85 minutes. The Monash inbound is the risk, not the distance — for a weekday morning flight, leave 30 minutes earlier than a map app suggests.
Casey Hospital is the most frequent local destination. MPTP-subsidised fares are accepted and a receipt is provided; call 0421 807 027 rather than booking online if you need a wheelchair accessible vehicle so dispatch can confirm it.
Berwick High Street gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Pre-booking the return leg when you book the outbound saves waiting on the footpath at closing time.
Fares follow the Victorian time-and-distance tariff, which differs between the day, overnight and peak periods, so a pre-dawn airport run is not priced the same as a midday trip. Use the fare calculator with your real pickup time or ask for a fixed price up front.
