Four main roads meet in Caringbah
Caringbah is about 24 km south of the city, and nearly every trip here starts on one of four roads. The Kingsway and President Avenue run east to west, linking Miranda and Sutherland with Cronulla. Port Hacking Road South heads down towards the waterfront at Caringbah South and Lilli Pilli. Taren Point Road runs north, past Bunnings and the showrooms of the industrial strip, to the Captain Cook Bridge.
The shops cluster where those roads cross near the station, which sits on the Kingsway on the Cronulla line. It is handy for the city, less so for everything else. Night-shift staff leaving the hospital, parents collecting a child from a party in Caringbah South, a tradie sending urgent parts from a Taren Point Road supplier: those are the calls we take.
Our sedans and SUVs take up to four. For groups there are maxi cabs with 7 and 11 seats, and a baby seat is fitted when you ask for one. Businesses along Taren Point Road use us for same-day parcels too. Pets are welcome. You get a fixed quote, tolls and GST included, before we set off.

Popular trips
Short hops and long runs
Most Caringbah bookings are either a few kilometres or a trip across the Georges River. Both get the same fixed-quote treatment.
Call for a quoteThe Kareena Road precinct
Three health services within a short walk, and a lot of pickups
Sutherland Hospital, Kareena Private Hospital and the community health centre all sit on or beside Kareena Road. Knowing which door you're at is half the job.
Emergency department
Say it is the emergency department when you call, so we drop you at the ED entrance and not the main foyer. If it is urgent or serious, call 000 for an ambulance instead.
Kareena Private Hospital
At 86 Kareena Road, a short way along from the public hospital. Give us the ward or unit and we will come to the right entrance.
Community Health Centre
Caringbah Community Health is on the public hospital campus, reached from Kareena Road. Appointments run to a timetable, so book the return with your finish time.
Going home after sedation or an anaesthetic? Hospitals usually want a responsible adult to travel with you. Book the taxi for both of you, and ask the ward for a realistic discharge time before calling.
