Lorne curls along a sheltered bay where the Otway Ranges tumble straight into the sea. The main street buzzes with cafés and galleries, while the pier juts into clear water perfect for a morning swim. Beyond town, waterfalls spill over fern-covered cliffs, and empty beaches wait at the end of winding dirt tracks. Torquay Taxi keeps you on the move so you can linger over a flat white at the swing bridge or hike to Phantom Falls without watching the clock. Our drivers know every hairpin turn on the Great Ocean Road and every shortcut through the eucalyptus when the tourist buses clog the highway.

Why Locals and Visitors Trust Us

We’ve been part of the Surf Coast and Otways run for years, long enough to remember when the Lorne Hotel was the only place open past nine. Today we carry surfers to the point break at Louttit Bay, families to the Qdos Arts courtyard, and wedding guests to clifftop venues with ocean views. The fleet covers every need: compact sedans for quick trips to the supermarket, seven-seat vans for groups heading to the Pier to Pub swim, and luggage-friendly wagons for airport transfers. Each car is checked weekly, vacuumed daily, and fitted with child restraints on request.

Safety is non-negotiable on roads that twist above steep drops. Drivers hold full commercial licences, refresh first-aid training every year, and monitor VicRoads alerts for landslips after heavy rain. All journeys are covered by comprehensive insurance and tracked in real time, giving you confidence whether you’re travelling at midnight or midday.

Booking Made Simple

Dial 03 5218 5935 and speak to someone who knows Lorne’s streets by heart. Tell us where you are—maybe the caravan park by the Erskine River or the bakery on Mountjoy Parade—and we’ll quote a pickup time. Local rides usually arrive within ten minutes; longer trips to Apollo Bay or Geelong are locked in with a quick confirmation call.

Reserve ahead on our website with a short form: pickup address, destination, date, and time. We reply within the hour and ring if the road to Teddy’s Lookout is closed for repairs. Fares stay clear from the start—short hops in town begin affordably, fixed rates apply to Melbourne Airport or the Twelve Apostles. Pay by card, tap in the back seat, cash to the driver, or arrange a tab for festival weekends when you’re in and out all day.

Where We Take You

Early risers catch a lift to the Lorne Surf Life Saving Club for a sunrise paddle. From there it’s an easy run to Sheoak Falls, where the track drops through mossy gullies to a picnic table beside the cascade. Midday markets fill the foreshore with buskers and seafood stalls; we’ll circle back when your arms are full of bags. The Lorne Theatre hosts films and live music most nights—book a return trip and skip the scramble for parking near the roundabout.

Walkers love the surf coast trail to the Cumberland River; we drop at the trailhead and collect you seven kilometres later, boots muddy and smiles wide. Food lovers head to the Riverbank precinct for wood-fired sourdough or the pub for parma night. Golfers play the clifftop course with views to Aireys Inlet lighthouse; we store clubs in the boot so you travel light.

Corporate groups book us for retreats at the Cumberland Lorne Resort—multiple cars arrive together, briefcases and yoga mats loaded without fuss. Festival season brings the Falls Music crowd; we run late-night shuttles from the gate to town so tents stay dry and feet stay off the road.

Torquay Taxi started closer to the surf breaks and grew northward as Lorne’s popularity rose. We keep the same straightforward approach: clean cars, fair prices, drivers who wave to regulars, and still open the door for first-timers. Call 03 5218 5935 or complete the online form whenever you need wheels—Lorne looks better from the back seat of a cab that knows the way.
