What makes 13cabs the first call for taxis in Katherine?
Getting a taxi in Katherine shouldn’t be a guessing game, and with 13cabs, it isn’t. You’ll get local service backed by a national network, with tools that make booking simple and rides that show up when they should.
Here’s why 13cabs is the go-to choice for taxis in Katherine:
- Extensive fleet – With over 8000 cabs across Australia, we’ve got more taxis on the road than anyone else. So when you need a ride, you won’t be waiting long.
- Safety comes first – Every 13cabs vehicle goes through regular maintenance checks. It’s all built in to keep your trip safe and smooth.
- Professional Drivers – Our Drivers are locals who know the area and how to get you there without the detours. They’re trained, uniformed and police-checked, so you’re in good hands every time.
- Australian-owned and -operated – We’re not some offshore app. We’re a taxi company supported by a national network, run by people who understand local travel and what matters to you.
Which 13cabs taxi service fits your trip?
Not every trip in Katherine looks the same. You might be heading across town to Katherine South, out to Katherine East, or travelling across the Top End for work, school or errands. Whatever the day calls for, 13cabs has a taxi service to match.
- Sedans – Seats up to four and handy for getting around town, whether you’re going to the shops, heading to a local event or picking someone up from the train station.
- Airport Transfers – Flying out of Katherine Tindal Airport to Darwin, Tennant Creek or Alice Springs? Book a cab that turns up on time and has the space for passengers, luggage and a smooth ride to the terminal.
- Taxi for Pets – Need to get your dog to the vet or your cat to the groomer? Our pet-friendly taxis make it easy to bring them along without the stress.
If you prefer to know your taxi fare upfront, you can book a Fixed Fare Taxi through the 13cabs App or our website. Not heading out but still need something moved? Our door-to-door parcel delivery service can handle that too. It’s a quick way to send something across town without doing the trip yourself.
