Pickups operate on the hour, from 7am, 8am, 9am, 10am and 12noon. (example - your appointment is 9:30am at the PA - your pick up time from home would be 8am. Therefore you need to be dressed and ready by 8am)

Returns will operate on the hour, from 12noon, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm. (example - you have finished your appointments and you are ready to return home, it is 1:15pm - you ring 13 6294, give the details and you will be scheduled in the 2pm return).

Please Note:  an exact time of pickup and dropoff is not possible, as it depends on the number of people booked on your taxi.
