Flying out early?
For a morning departure from Skye, 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 Skye involves
Expect 59 minutes or so from Skye, and up to 89 if you are travelling through peak. It is 77.6 km, and the fare is estimated around $196 – $239.
Longer trips are exactly where meters and surge pricing do the most damage. Agreeing the number first removes that entirely.
How early to book your Skye pickup
For a domestic flight, allow three and a half hours between leaving Skye and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 59 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.
Early departures are routine for us. The overnight hours carry no surcharge, so the time on your booking makes no difference to the price.
If you need more room
There is no premium for the SUV: it is the same $196 – $239 as a standard taxi from Skye. Only the maxi differs, at $213 – $259 for up to eleven passengers.
If your pickup is closer to Carrum Downs 3201, Langwarrin 3910 and Frankston North 3200, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Skye 3977, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
The road we take from Skye
Your driver will use Ballarto Rd, Dandenong-Hastings Rd/Western Port Hwy/A7 and Western Port Hwy/M780. That adds roughly $19.72 in tolls, which sits inside the quoted fare. We do not hand you a separate toll charge at the end of the trip.
Airport to Skye
Back to Skye is the same 77.6 km journey. The only addition is the $5.26 airport pickup fee, which is the airport's charge rather than ours. Add your flight number when you book and your driver works to the real landing time.
What makes up the Skye price
Nothing about the Skye fare is a zone rate. It is flag fall $5.25, distance (77.6 km at $2.34 per km) $181.58 and toll $19.72, totalling $207, which is why the figure quoted is $196 – $239 rather than a round number.
Meet and greet is optional and costs $35. Worth it on a long haul arrival, less so if you travel light and know the pickup area.

We used this taxi service for a trip from Altona to the airport and our return journey, and couldn’t be happier. The driver was on time both ways, communication was great from start to finish, and everything went smoothly. It was such a stress-free experience, especially after a long flight. Friendly, reliable service and we’ll definitely use them again. Highly recommend!
Car was ordered for 10:30, arrived exactly on time, suitcase was loaded for me so no lifting :-) Interior was spotless and comfortable. Driving was smooth and we felt safe with the driver who managed the heavy traffic with confidence. Would recommend without hesitation.
Travelled from Melbourne Eastern Suburbs to Airport with this outstanding company. From the moment of my online booking to the time of arrival at each end, the communication was clear, the customer service was top notch and the ride was smooth. Easy to find and coordinate at the airport for pick up (always my concern with pre-booking taxi service). Staff were ALL friendly and professional. Cannot recommend this company enough.
