What the Trip Looks Like
About 25 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 38 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Fitzroy Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- The main run The bulk of the 21.5 km, on the quickest route available that hour.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 25 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 Fitzroy you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 38 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:20am.
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 Fitzroy to Melbourne Airport
From Fitzroy the terminal is only 21.5 km south east of the terminal. That is around 25 minutes of driving.
If your pickup is closer to Carlton 3053, East Melbourne 3002 and Melbourne Cbd 3000, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Fitzroy 3065, from homes and workplaces to schools, shops and any other address in the area. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
How the Fitzroy Fare Is Worked Out
Every part of the Fitzroy fare is in the fare box above, from the flag fall to the toll, so you can check the sum yourself. 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, as the table by pickup time above shows, and your estimate uses the rate for the time you choose when you book. For a fixed price, call or email us and we will confirm it before your trip. No surge, no meter, no surprises.
An SUV from Fitzroy is typically $73 (estimate $69 – $84): the standard fare plus a $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It seats four, like a sedan, with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For five or more passengers take the maxi, which seats up to eleven and carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is also typically $73 (estimate $69 – $84). 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 Fitzroy from the Airport
Back to Fitzroy is the same 21.5 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.
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.
Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting inside the arrivals hall with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.
Fitzroy to the Airport
Fitzroy is in the City of Yarra, right on the edge of the CBD. It is a short run: west along Johnston Street, round College Crescent past Melbourne University, then onto CityLink and the Tullamarine Freeway. Only a short section of CityLink is tolled on this trip, and it is in your estimate.
Brunswick Street and the Fitzroy Town Hall on Napier Street are the easy landmarks. Patients and visitors at St Vincent's Hospital on Victoria Parade can be collected from the hospital.
Close to Fitzroy, Carlton 3053, East Melbourne 3002, Richmond 3121 and Melbourne Cbd 3000 have their own estimates.
