Taxi Castle Hill: Cabs for Castle Towers, the Metro and Home

The Metro brought Castle Hill closer to the city, but the walk from the station to most front doors hasn't changed. Call us for the part the trains don't cover, or for the whole way to the airport, on a quote fixed before you travel.

Getting around Castle Hill

Castle Hill grew up along Old Northern Road, and that road is still the spine of the place. Castle Towers takes up the northern side. Castle Mall, the smaller centre, is on the southern side by Terminus Street, and the bus interchange is on Old Northern Road. Since 2019 the Metro has run underneath, with a pedestrian tunnel from the station straight into Castle Towers.

The town centre is busy. The streets behind it are not. Much of Castle Hill is curving residential roads off Showground Road, Castle Hill Road and Old Northern Road, and plenty of homes are a long walk from any bus stop. That is where most of our bookings start: early flights, a ride home from Castle Towers with the week's shopping, or a lift to the station when it is pouring.

Sedans and SUVs carry up to four. A maxi taxi seats up to 11 for a family holiday or a team event, and child seats are fitted when you ask. Every trip is quoted upfront with tolls and GST included, and there is no surge pricing on a wet Saturday.

Castle Towers

Castle Towers is one of the largest shopping centres in Australia, with more than 5,000 car spaces over its levels. Its address is Castle Street, it faces Old Northern Road, and the Metro tunnel brings you in from Old Castle Hill Road. Tell us if you are near a department store, the food court or Event Cinemas and we will agree the closest place for the driver to stop.

Two Metro stations, one suburb

Castle Hill has two stations on the Metro North West and Bankstown Line. Castle Hill station is the one under the town centre, between Cherrybrook and Hills Showground. Hills Showground station is on Showground Road beside the showground itself, one stop closer to Norwest. If you are being collected, tell us which of the two you are at.

Castle Street and the RSL

Castle Hill RSL is at 77 Castle Street, further along the street from Castle Towers. For a club dinner or a function, book the ride home when you arrive, or call us once you know when you'll be ready to leave.

Castle Hill Heritage Park

The old government farm, and the night of 4 March 1804

Governor King set up the Third Government Farm here in 1801, and the name Castle Hill was in use by March 1802. On the Sunday night of 4 March 1804 its convicts rose up in the Castle Hill convict rebellion. The farm site is now Castle Hill Heritage Park, off Gilbert Road.

Walks and picnics

We drop off and collect at the park's car park on Heritage Park Drive. For a family picnic with an esky and a pram, a maxi cab saves two trips.

Show time on Showground Road

Castle Hill Showground hosts the annual Castle Hill Show each March. On big event days we pick a meeting point a short walk from the gates, away from the queues.

Castle Hill to Sydney Airport

Plan for the M2, not the map app

Off-peak, a taxi from Castle Hill to the airport terminals takes 45 to 60 minutes. Most of that is the M2 and the run through or around the city. On weekday mornings the motorway fills early, so for an international flight we suggest leaving around three hours before departure.

Arriving home? Add your flight number and we time the pickup to your landing, then bring you back up the M2 to your door. More on our Sydney Airport transfers page.
