Been local since 1966
Established in 1966 through the merger of Blue and White Taxis and Black and White Taxis, Cairns Taxis Limitedbegan with just 21 cars and a vision to serve the growing region. Over the decades, the company expanded through local mergers and boundary extensions, building a strong community presence across the Cairns district — from Wright’s Creek to Simpson Point and the Henry Ross Lookout.
