Flying out early?
For a morning departure from Croydon, allow an extra hour 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.
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, and the fare is estimated around $120 – $147.
Longer trips are exactly where meters and surge pricing do the most damage. Agreeing the number first removes that entirely.
When to leave Croydon
For a domestic flight, allow three and a half hours between leaving Croydon and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 53 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.
We run 24 hours and there is no night rate. A 3am pickup costs the same as a 3pm one, which is worth knowing when you are weighing an early flight against a convenient one.
If you need more room
An SUV from Croydon costs the same $120 – $147 as a standard taxi, so if you are carrying extra bags or want more room, take it at no extra cost. A maxi seating up to eleven is $137 – $167.
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.
The road we take from Croydon
Drivers take Yarra Rd/State Route 7, Ringwood-Warrandyte Rd/State Route 9 and Research-Warrandyte Rd 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.
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.
How the Croydon fare is worked out
Every part of the Croydon fare is visible: flag fall $5.25 and distance (51.7 km at $2.34 per km) $120.98. That is $127, shown as $120 – $147 to account for your pickup point and the route on the day.
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.
