Taxi arrangements

A taxi rank is located in the Forecourt Basement car park, adjacent to the eastern steps from the Forecourt (see map). The rank has a phone allowing free calls to Canberra Cabs and Cabxpress. The relevant phone numbers are shown on a sign above the phone.

Using the taxi rank

The taxi firm will not accept bookings for the rank but they will advise all taxis that there is a customer waiting at the rank and send a car.
