The journey

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, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

How the Fitzroy Fare Is Worked Out

Nothing about the Fitzroy fare is a zone rate. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (21.5 km at $2.10 per km) $45.15 and toll $3.92, a typical total of $55. It is shown as $52 – $64 because your street and the traffic on the day can move the distance a little either way.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Fitzroy is typically $55 by day, $61 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $67 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.

An SUV from Fitzroy is $69 – $84, the standard fare plus a $17.80 surcharge, and worth it if you are carrying extra bags or want more legroom. A maxi seating up to eleven is $69 – $84. 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.

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.
