What the Trip Looks Like
About 30 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 45 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Prahran Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.

- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 30 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 Prahran you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 45 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:15am.
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.
Getting from Prahran to Melbourne Airport
From Prahran, Melbourne Airport is 33.6 km away. Budget 30 minutes off peak and up to 45 when the freeways are busy.
The usual way from Prahran is CityLink and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. There is roughly $13.19 of tolls on that route, included in the estimate you see before you book. On a run of 33.6 km the free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.
We also cover Windsor 3181, South Yarra 3141 and Toorak 3142 on the same pricing basis, so if you are picking up passengers on the way it is worth checking those pages too.
We cover all of Prahran 3181, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
What Makes Up the Prahran Price
The Prahran estimate is not guesswork. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (33.6 km at $2.10 per km) $70.56 and toll $13.19, which totals $90. We show it as $85 – $104 because the exact street you are picked up from, and the route on the day, move the distance slightly.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Prahran is typically $90 by day, $98 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $107 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 Prahran is $101 – $124, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. The maxi is $101 – $124 for up to eleven passengers. 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
The return runs the same 33.6 km and the same estimated fare, with one difference: a $5.26 airport pickup fee set by the airport itself, which every operator charges. Give us your flight number and we watch the arrival time, so a delay moves your pickup rather than costing you waiting 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.
Meet and greet is optional and costs $35. Worth it on a long haul arrival, less so if you travel light and know the terminal.

I’ve been using this company for over a year now for any work trip I have to take, and will continue to do so. Always on time, great communication via text, the cars are always beautifully clean and usually more luxurious than an uber, the drivers are always polite and friendly and also drive safely. Highly recommend.
Our driver, Deep, was friendly and punctual. He drove us to the Penguin Parade and even recommended us to stop by the chocolate factory since we had time, which was a bonus! The car was comfortable throughout the ride. Would definitely recommend and book again!
Deep is my go to taxi service when ever in Melbourne. Have been using them since 2018 and can never fault the service they provide. Highly recommend
Such a relief to have a hassle-free taxi ready upon arrival that accepts cabcharge. Also called me to arrange the return with attention to detail. Ride in comfort with friendly service!
Always on time, 100% reliable, clean cars and safe, professional drivers. I’ve been using this service for over 4 years and thoroughly recommend them
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.
Deep provided a taxi service that was above and beyond.From the communication as to where to find him at the airport to the customer service, cleanliness of the car and the provision of water - exceptional service / highly recommend
Very good experience with Deep, he was very informative, easy to understand and a very good driver! We will definitely be using Deep for our future taxi services around Melbourne Victoria. 5 stars is not enough!
Couldn’t ask for better service. The text notifications were very helpful, especially for such an early pickup for airport at 4:30 am. The driver arrived on time in Point Cook, helped with luggage, and provided a comfortable ride to the airport. Highly recommended.
Always available, always on time, always responds immediately. Cars are always clean and luxurious and the drivers are always friendly. 10 out of 10 service. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
