What Makes Up the Balwyn North Price

The Balwyn North estimate is not guesswork. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (31.8 km at $2.10 per km) $66.78 and toll $3.96, which totals $77. We show it as $73 – $89 because the exact street you are picked up from, and the route on the day, move the distance slightly. The typical total is the sum above rounded up to the next whole dollar, and the estimate runs from 5% under it to 15% over it, the same rule for every vehicle. A different pickup street, a detour or roadworks on the day, waiting time and extras such as a baby seat are what move a fare inside that estimate.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Balwyn North is typically $77 by day, $84 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $94 on a Friday or Saturday night after 10pm or a public holiday. Your estimate uses the rate for the time you choose when you book. For a fixed price, call or email us and we will agree the fare before you travel.

The SUV from Balwyn North is typically $94, within an estimate of $89 – $109, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It still seats four, and the gain is luggage: 4 large and 3 small bags. The maxi seats up to eleven and carries the same surcharge, which is why it is the same $89 – $109. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, per trip, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.

Airport to Balwyn North

For the inbound trip to Balwyn North, add the airport's own $5.26 pickup fee to the fare above. Everything else is identical, including the 35 minute drive. Give us the flight number and we adjust to the actual landing time.

Your driver collects you from the terminal your flight lands at: Terminal 1 for Qantas domestic, Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 3 for Virgin Australia and Terminal 4 for Jetstar and other low cost domestic airlines. Turn your phone on once you are off the plane and your driver confirms the meeting point. Bags on a domestic flight usually take 20 to 30 minutes, and an international arrival through customs takes longer, so book for your landing time and let the flight tracking do the rest.

For an arrival with luggage or children, meet and greet at $35 is usually worth it: your driver is inside the terminal rather than at the kerb.
