Why Ascot Vale locals book a taxi service
Ascot Vale is one of Melbourne’s most convenient inner-north-west suburbs, only about five kilometres from the CBD. It has a strong community feel, with cafes on Union Road, parks along the Maribyrnong River and a steady stream of events. All of that brings plenty of reasons to book a car.
An Ascot Vale taxi service suits busy households where one car does a lot of work. It suits students and professionals who want a quiet ride home. And it suits anyone catching an early flight, because the airport is a short run up the freeway.
Even with decent public transport, a door-to-door ride still wins in bad weather and with heavy bags. A confirmed booking also gives you a time you can trust.
Getting around Ascot Vale: Union Road, the station and the Showgrounds
Ascot Vale station sits on the Craigieburn line, and the CBD is only a few stops away. Trams and buses cover the main roads too. However, getting from a quiet side street to a stop with luggage is tiring. Many customers use us for the first leg and then transfer.
Union Road is the heart of the village, with cafes, bakeries and small shops. On Sunday mornings it fills with people, and parking vanishes. Booking a cab removes the circling and drops you right where you want to be.
Neighbouring suburbs include Flemington, Moonee Ponds, Kensington and Essendon. Read more on our Kensington taxi page and Essendon taxi page.
Race days, shows and local trips from Ascot Vale
The Melbourne Showgrounds in Ascot Vale host the Royal Melbourne Show and many other events each year. Crowds and road closures make driving there stressful. A pre-booked taxi gets you close to the gate, and you can check event details on the Royal Melbourne Show website.
Flemington Racecourse sits just next door, and major race days bring huge numbers of visitors to the area. If you plan to attend, book early and tell us the entrance. We will plan around crowds, and we collect you afterwards at the agreed spot.
Outside event days, the suburb is calm. School runs, medical visits and shopping trips fill the schedule. For parks, bins and local information, visit the Moonee Valley City Council website.
Airport transfers from Ascot Vale to Tullamarine
Melbourne Airport is about 15 kilometres from Ascot Vale, and the drive usually takes around 21 minutes when roads are quiet. However, freeway traffic can slow things down at peak times, so we always build in a buffer.
For a domestic flight, plan to leave about two and a half hours before departure. For an international flight, allow an extra hour. Share your flight number, and we will check for delays before the driver sets out. Read more about our airport transfer service or check terminals on the Melbourne Airport website.
When you land, your driver tracks your arrival and meets you once you have your bags. As a result, you skip the rank queue and go straight home.
Travelling with skis, golf clubs or a bike box? Say so when you book. We will send a car with enough room, and the driver helps you load before leaving Ascot Vale.
Your driver arrives a few minutes early and waits at the agreed spot. Share a mobile number when you book, so you can reach each other quickly if the entrance is hard to spot.
From Ascot Vale, we usually take Mount Alexander Road or Racecourse Road to the Tullamarine Freeway. On major event days, we adjust the route and timing to avoid crowds.
