Taxi / Drop Off
If arriving by taxi or someone is dropping you off, head to the drop off zone at West Gate. Always pre-book a taxi, there is a taxi point near West Gate where you can book your journey. Make sure you check the vehicle has visible licence plates and official driver badges. Never get in an unlicensed taxi - if you are unsure check with a member of Boomtown staff.
