When People Book a Taxi to Crown Casino
Crown is more than a casino. These are the most common reasons people book a transfer.
Casino Night Out
A group booking for the tables. Booking both ways means you know the estimated transport cost before you decide on the night's budget.
Restaurant Dining
Crown Towers precinct includes Nobu, Rockpool Bar and Grill, and Bistro Guillaume among others. Dinner reservations with a booked ride home.
Crown Palladium Concerts
The venue inside Crown hosts touring acts and large events. Late finish times on concert nights push Uber into peak surge territory.
Crown Towers Hotel

Business Events
The Crown Convention Centre hosts conferences, corporate dinners, and awards nights year round. Business account billing available.
Crown Promenade Events
Southbank and the Crown precinct run food and cultural events across the calendar. Evening sessions on the Promenade benefit from a confirmed late pickup.
Going to Crown as a Group?
A maxi cab seats up to 11 passengers and is priced at the sedan fare plus $17.80, with the same $39.90 minimum fare. From the CBD a maxi is $39.90, about $7 each way per person for a group of 6. Book the return leg at the same time so everyone gets home in one vehicle without splitting across multiple late-night rideshares.
