Although Kiama no longer has a dedicated taxi service in this region after Kiama Cabs closed their business to the general public in May, 

there are still some transport options that locals and tourists can use. 

The Illawarra Taxi Network, Uber and Driving Miss Daisy are available for booking via a phone call or through their websites and apps.

The Illawarra Taxi Service has 136 vehicles, with 12 wheelchair accessible vehicles and 12 maxi taxis. Check the Uber app for availability of local drivers, 

with more availability on weekends and holidays. 

Driving Miss Daisy, a franchise based in Shellharbour, is a pre-booked driving business which now services the Kiama area. 

It offers to drive people to and from social gatherings, appointments and to assist people in running errands. But Shellharbour franchise owner, Tony Orth, 

says they are not a taxi service and instead require bookings with as much notice as possible.

Tony says since Kiama Cab’s closure he has received an increase in demand for his services.

“You don’t notice something until it’s gone,” he says. According to Tony, the Nowra franchise will cover Gerringong and is expected to open in July or August.
