The journey

What the trip looks like

About 43 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 65 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Bayside Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Nepean Hwy/State Route 19/State Route 3Co The first leg out of Bayside.
  • Citylink/M2 Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 43 minutes after pickup.

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Bayside, allow an extra thirty minutes on top of the drive time for check in and security. We run 24 hours, so a 3am pickup costs exactly the same as a 3pm one.

Getting from Bayside to Melbourne Airport

Bayside to the terminal is 39.7 km of driving, normally about 43 minutes. The price is estimated at $95 – $117 before you travel.

Traffic can push this out to about 65 minutes at the wrong time of day, which is worth planning around even though it will not affect your fare.

When to leave Bayside

Most passengers leaving Bayside give themselves three hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 43 minutes of that.

Early starts are routine here. Your pickup time sets the rate, day, evening or weekend night, and the fare is fixed the moment you book.

If you need more room

An SUV from Bayside is $113 – $137, the standard fare plus a $17.80 surcharge, and worth it if you are carrying extra bags or want more legroom. A maxi seating up to eleven is $113 – $137.

If your pickup is closer to Hampton 3188, Hampton East 3188 and Sandringham 3191, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.

The road we take from Bayside

Your driver will use Nepean Hwy/State Route 19/State Route 3Co and Citylink/M2. That adds roughly $11.50 in tolls, which sits inside the quoted fare. We do not hand you a separate toll charge at the end of the trip.

The trip in the other direction

Landing at Tullamarine and heading for Bayside works the same way in reverse. Same distance, same rate, plus the $5.26 pickup fee the airport levies on every vehicle leaving the rank. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.

Where the number comes from

Nothing about the Bayside fare is a zone rate. It is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (39.7 km at $2.10 per km) $83.37 and toll $11.50, totalling $101, which is why the figure quoted is $95 – $117 rather than a round number.

Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting airside of the exit with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.
