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 South Yarra 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.
Your Airport Run from South Yarra
South Yarra to the terminal is 33.2 km of driving, normally about 30 minutes and nearer 45 in peak hour.
Your driver will use CityLink and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. That adds roughly $11.63 in tolls, which sits inside the estimated fare. We do not hand you a separate toll charge at the end of the trip.
If your pickup is closer to Prahran 3181, Toorak 3142 and Windsor 3181, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of South Yarra 3141, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
How the South Yarra Fare Is Worked Out
The South Yarra estimate is not guesswork. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (33.2 km at $2.10 per km) $69.72 and toll $11.63, which totals $87. We show it as $82 – $101 because the exact street you are picked up from, and the route on the day, move the distance slightly. The typical total is the sum above rounded up to the next whole dollar, and the estimate runs from 5% under it to 15% over it, the same rule for every vehicle. A different pickup street, a detour or roadworks on the day, waiting time and extras such as a baby seat are what move a fare inside that estimate.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from South Yarra is typically $87 by day, $95 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $105 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.
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at a typical $105 (estimate $99 – $121). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from South Yarra carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $99 – $121. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, per trip, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.
Coming Back to South Yarra from the Airport
Landing at Tullamarine and heading for South Yarra works the same way in reverse. Same distance, same rate, plus the $5.26 pickup fee the airport levies on every trip that starts there. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.
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.
For an arrival with luggage or children, meet and greet at $35 is usually worth it: your driver is inside the terminal rather than at the kerb.
