The journey

What the trip looks like

About 59 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 89 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Skye Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Ballarto Rd The first leg out of Skye 3977.
  • Western Port Hwy/M780 The main run in, covering most of the 77.6 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 59 minutes after pickup.

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 $179 – $218.

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 rate applies from 5pm to 9am and is shown in your quote, so the price you book is the price you pay.

If you need more room

The SUV from Skye is $195 – $237, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. The maxi is $195 – $237 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 day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (77.6 km at $2.10 per km) $162.96 and toll $19.72, totalling $189, which is why the figure quoted is $179 – $218 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.

Mentions Hawthorn East
I travel almost weekly for work to and from the Airport to Hawthorn East. I have been using this company now (Prabh, Sherry, Deep and co) for well over a year and never once had a bad or even average experience, they are always so responsive, professional and just great guys in general! Several times I have needed a car (or 2 for work colleagues from SYD) at very short notice and they have arrived within minutes with immediate confirmation as always. On top of that their cars are always spotless and very comfortable. I recommend all my work colleagues from Sydney to use this company and they are equally as impressed. Out of the 100 lifts their service has been flawless. Don’t use anyone else in Melbourne!

I highly recommend the taxi service provided by Prabh, Sherry, and their team. They are always punctual, professional, and kind, making every trip smooth and stress-free. I’ve been using their service regularly since relocating to Melbourne, and they’ve consistently exceeded expectations with their reliability and excellent customer service. Whether it’s an early morning airport run or a late-night pickup, they are always dependable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of quality transportation. Keep up with the good work guys!
