Geelong Taxi Number: Your Gateway to Reliable Local Transit
Vacation and Travel / by Geelong Taxi / 19 views
I’ve had Geelong Taxi’s number saved in my phone since 2008. Back then, I scribbled it on a napkin after missing the last bus home from Little Malop Street. Seventeen years later, that same number—+61352185935—remains unchanged, a rare constant in our fast-changing city.
The five-digit number has become something of a local legend. Ask any Geelong resident who’s lived here more than a decade, and they’ll likely recite it from memory. It’s the number I called when my car broke down at Avalon Airport, when my sister went into labor at midnight, and countless times when the weather was too miserable for the walk home from the station.
What’s remarkable is how the dispatch system behind this number has evolved while maintaining its local character. The initial call still connects you to their Geelong-based call center, not some distant overseas operation. Many of the operators have been there for years—like Carol, who somehow remembers regular callers by voice alone.
During major events—like the Cats playing at GMHBA Stadium—the number gets hammered with calls. Yet they manage the surge with surprising efficiency, prioritizing families with kids and elderly passengers when wait times grow long.
Some folks have shifted to their app booking system, especially younger residents. But for many—particularly those in areas with patchy internet like parts of the Bellarine—that reliable phone number remains essential. There’s comfort in knowing no matter where you are in Greater Geelong, those digits connect you to a driver who knows exactly how to get you home.
