What the Trip Looks Like
About 53 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 80 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Croydon Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- Yarra Road The first leg out of Croydon.
- Research-Warrandyte Road The main run in, covering most of the 51.7 km.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 53 minutes after pickup.
Working Out Your Pickup Time
Start from your departure time, take off two hours for a domestic flight or three for an international one, then take off the drive. For a 9am domestic flight from Croydon you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 80 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:40am.
We run 24 hours. Pickups between 5pm and 9am use the evening and overnight rate shown in the table, so an early start costs a little more than a midday one.
What the Trip from Croydon Involves
Expect 53 minutes or so from Croydon, and up to 80 if you are travelling through peak. It is 51.7 km door to terminal.
Drivers take Yarra Road, Ringwood-Warrandyte Road and Research-Warrandyte Road for this run, and there is no toll on that route. It is worth knowing, because a 51.7 km airport trip from this side of Melbourne often comes in lower than people expect for exactly that reason.
If your pickup is closer to Warrandyte South 3134, Kilsyth South 3137 and Ringwood 3134, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Croydon 3136, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
How the Croydon Fare Is Worked Out
Every part of the Croydon fare is visible: day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (51.7 km at $2.10 per km) $108.57 by day. That is a typical $114, shown as $108 – $132 to account for your pickup point and the route on the day.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Croydon is typically $114 by day, $126 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $140 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.
An SUV from Croydon is $125 – $152, 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 $125 – $152. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.
The Trip in the Other Direction
Arriving rather than departing, the Croydon run is priced the same with the $5.26 airport pickup fee on top. We watch the flight, so if you are held up in the air or at the carousel your driver is still there.
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.
Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting inside the arrivals hall with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.
