Taxi bookings in the Northern Beaches
The Northern Beaches run for about 30 kilometres up a narrow peninsula from Manly to Palm Beach, with only a few main roads in and out — Pittwater Road, the Wakehurst Parkway and Military Road across the Spit Bridge. That makes trip times to the city and airport longer than the map suggests.
The further north you start, the longer the trip. The table shows how much the times change between Manly and Mona Vale.
For Northern Beaches 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.
