Greater Sydney
Taxi bookings in the Inner West
The Inner West covers a string of busy, older suburbs west of the city — from Balmain and Leichhardt on the harbour side, through Newtown and Marrickville, out to Ashfield. Streets are narrow, parking is tight, and main roads like King Street and Parramatta Road have clearways at peak times.
Because the area is spread out, trip times to the airport and the city vary a lot depending on where you start. The table below shows several town centres so you can see the difference.
For Inner West taxi bookings, call Northern Silver Taxi Sydney on 1300 046 956 or request your taxi online. If the pickup is urgent, call to check driver availability.
