About Cairns Taxis

Cairns Taxis started back in 1966 when two small local taxi companies joined together with just 21 cars. Over time it’s grown into the biggest and most trusted taxi service in Cairns, now running more than 130 cars that operate 24 hours a day, every day.

Our drivers are proud locals who do more than just drive — they’re becoming tourism ambassadors, helping visitors discover the best of our city. When you arrive in Cairns, our drivers are often your first hello and last goodbye, giving every trip a warm welcome to paradise.

We’re also focused on the future. From using new technology to exploring electric vehicles and digital services, Cairns Taxis is future-proofing local transport so we can keep connecting people, places and experiences for many years to come.
