Flying out early?
For a morning departure from Bayswater, allow an extra hour on top of the drive time for check in and security. We run 24 hours, so a 3am pickup costs exactly the same as a 3pm one.
What the trip from Bayswater involves
At 69.7 km, Bayswater is a longer airport run: roughly 54 minutes on a clear road, closer to 81 in peak hour. The estimated fare is around $175 – $213, tolls included.
Longer trips are exactly where meters and surge pricing do the most damage. Agreeing the number first removes that entirely.
Working out your pickup time
Most passengers leaving Bayswater give themselves three and a half hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 54 minutes of that.
We run 24 hours and there is no night rate. A 3am pickup costs the same as a 3pm one, which is worth knowing when you are weighing an early flight against a convenient one.
If you need more room
There is no premium for the SUV: it is the same $175 – $213 as a standard taxi from Bayswater. Only the maxi differs, at $192 – $234 for up to eleven passengers.
If your pickup is closer to Boronia 3155, Kilsyth South 3137 and Wantirna 3152, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Bayswater 3153, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
The route, and what it costs to use it
Drivers take Mountain Hwy/State Route 28, Eastlink/M3 and Monash Fwy/M1 for this run. That route carries a toll of about $16.24, and it is already inside the fare you are quoted rather than added at the end. We use the toll road because on a 69.7 km trip the time it saves is worth more than the charge, particularly for an early flight.
Coming back to Bayswater from the airport
Arriving rather than departing, the Bayswater run is priced the same with the $5.26 airport pickup fee on top. We watch the flight, so if you are held up in the air or at the carousel your driver is still there.
What makes up the Bayswater price
Broken down, a Bayswater airport trip is flag fall $5.25, distance (69.7 km at $2.34 per km) $163.10 and toll $16.24. $185 all up. The $175 – $213 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.

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.
