campus, hospital or airport.

Where we pick up around Clayton.
Monash's Clayton campus is a large site with several entrances off Wellington Road and Blackburn Road. Naming the building or car park you are next to saves the driver a lap of the ring road — the same applies at the Medical Centre, where outpatient and emergency entrances are on different sides.

Booking a Clayton taxi: what to know
Monash Clayton is spread over a large campus with multiple entries off Wellington and Blackburn Roads. Give the building name or the nearest car park and the driver comes straight to it.
Hospital trips often need an MPTP-subsidised fare or a wheelchair accessible vehicle. Call 0421 807 027 rather than booking online so dispatch can confirm the vehicle for your appointment time.
Airport runs from Clayton typically use the Monash Freeway and CityLink or the ring road, depending on the time of day. Tolls, where used, are added to the metered fare, and a fixed price can be agreed at booking.
Semester start, exam periods and weekday hospital clinic hours are the busiest booking windows. Give as much notice as you can for those.
