Your airport run from South Yarra
South Yarra to the terminal is 33.2 km of driving, normally about 30 minutes. The price is estimated at $90 – $110 before you travel.
Traffic can push this out to about 45 minutes at the wrong time of day, which is worth planning around even though it will not affect your fare.
When to leave South Yarra
For a domestic flight, allow three hours between leaving South Yarra and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 30 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.
There is no late night loading and no early morning premium. The fare is the same at 4am as it is at midday.
If you need more room
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV. It is priced identically at $90 – $110. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from South Yarra is $107 – $130.
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.
The road we take from South Yarra
Your driver will use Citylink/M1 and Citylink/M2. That adds roughly $11.50 in tolls, which sits inside the quoted fare. We do not hand you a separate toll charge at the end of the trip.
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 vehicle leaving the rank. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.
How the South Yarra fare is worked out
The South Yarra estimate is not guesswork. It is flag fall $5.25, distance (33.2 km at $2.34 per km) $77.69 and toll $11.50, which totals $95. We publish it as $90 – $110 because the exact street you are picked up from moves the distance slightly.
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.

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.
