What the trip from Altona involves
From Altona, Melbourne Airport is 34.5 km away. Budget 31 minutes off peak, and expect to pay around $74 – $90.
Traffic can push this out to about 47 minutes at the wrong time of day, which is worth planning around even though it will not affect your fare.
How early to book your Altona pickup
Most passengers leaving Altona give themselves three hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 31 minutes of that.
We run 24 hours, and a 3am pickup is everyday work. It uses the evening and overnight rate, which is in your quote before you book, so you can weigh an early flight against a later one with real numbers.
Groups and larger vehicles
There is no premium for the SUV: it is the same $74 – $90 as a standard taxi from Altona. Only the maxi differs, at $91 – $111 for up to eleven passengers.
If your pickup is closer to Altona Meadows 3028, Williamstown 3016 and Laverton North 3026, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Altona 3018, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
Which way the trip runs
You will travel on Princes Fwy/M1 and Western Ring Rd/National Highway M80. No tolls apply on this route, so the fare is distance and flag fall only.
The trip in the other direction
The return runs the same 34.5 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.
How the Altona fare is worked out
Broken down, a Altona airport trip is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (34.5 km at $2.10 per km) $72.45. $78 all up. The $74 – $90 you see quoted is that number with a small allowance either side.
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.

The driver was on time both ways, communication was great from start to finish, and everything went smoothly. It was such a stress-free experience, especially after a long flight.

Great experience with Deep. Silver service taxi at normal price and drivers are really helpful. Highly recommend to all locals in Tarneit. Must book 👍👍
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.
