Taxi Geelong shares safety tips for passengers

Travelling safely around Geelong has never been easier thanks to Taxi Network Geelong’s new campaign highlighting key safety tips for passengers.

The “Tips for Travelling Safely in a Taxi” campaign encourages travellers to book directly through Taxi Network Geelong and verify important details before starting their journey. The campaign graphic reminds passengers to:

• • Book directly with Taxi Network Geelong via phone, app or online.
  • Check that the taxi displays official company signage.
  • Ensure the driver is in uniform.
  • Confirm the meter is switched on at the start of the trip.
  • Use the official in-vehicle payment machine for secure payments.
  • Note that security cameras are operating inside the vehicle.

Taxi Network Geelong operates a fleet of professionally trained drivers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each taxi is equipped with a metered fare system and a dedicated payment terminal, ensuring every fare is transparent and traceable. Onboard security cameras operate during every trip, providing added safety for passengers and drivers alike.

Booking a taxi is simple. Passengers can call 131 008, book online at Geelongtaxis.com.au, use the mobile app, or hail a taxi directly from designated ranks across the city. Each booking records the driver’s details, including vehicle number and trip information, offering an additional layer of safety.

Unlike rideshare services, Taxi Network Geelong’s fares are regulated and consistent. While rideshare apps may appear cheaper during quiet times, they often apply surge pricing when demand rises. Taxi Network Geelong’s regulated pricing means passengers know exactly what they will pay, with any applicable surcharges displayed clearly on the meter during the trip. Passengers also receive a printed receipt at the end of each journey.

The campaign highlights that choosing a licensed taxi in Geelong ensures passengers benefit from professional service, strict safety protocols and reliable pricing for every trip.
