The journey

What the trip looks like

About 52 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 78 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Braeside Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Mordialloc Fwy/Mornington Peninsula Fwy/M The first leg out of Braeside 3195.
  • Warrigal Rd/State Route 15 The main run in, covering most of the 55.7 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 52 minutes after pickup.

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Braeside, 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.

Getting from Braeside to Melbourne Airport

Expect 52 minutes or so from Braeside, and up to 78 if you are travelling through peak. It is 55.7 km, and the fare is estimated around $129 – $157.

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 Braeside give themselves three and a half hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 52 minutes of that.

Early departures are routine for us. The overnight rate applies from 5pm to 9am and is shown in your quote, so the price you book is the price you pay.

Travelling with a group

An SUV from Braeside costs the same $129 – $157 as a standard taxi, so if you are carrying extra bags or want more room, take it at no extra cost. A maxi seating up to eleven is $146 – $178.

We also cover Waterways 3195, Aspendale Gardens 3195 and Keysborough 3173 on the same pricing basis, so if you are picking up passengers on the way it is worth checking those pages too.

We cover all of Braeside 3195, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

The road we take from Braeside

The usual way from Braeside is Mordialloc Fwy/Mornington Peninsula Fwy/M, Dingley Bypass/State Route 14/State Route and Warrigal Rd/State Route 15. There is roughly $13.19 of tolls on that route, included in your quoted price before you book. On a run of 55.7 km the alternative free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.

The trip in the other direction

Arriving rather than departing, the Braeside 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.

Where the number comes from

Adding it up from Braeside: day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (55.7 km at $2.10 per km) $116.97 and toll $13.19. Total $136. The published range of $129 – $157 covers the small variation between one pickup address and another.

Meet and greet is optional and costs $35. Worth it on a long haul arrival, less so if you travel light and know the pickup area.

Reuban Menezes 4 Feb 2025
This is the second time now I have used the service and it is outstanding from the minute you book to the time they pick you up. Drop you off and collect you again and bring you home. They look after everything. They let you know that they’re tracking your flights They’ll let you know where there will be. The Cars are in fantastic condition and Smell nice. You feel like you have your own private drivers collecting you. it’s a very special feeling I would highly recommend them to anyone that’s looking for a ride to and from the airport or just to the city for a function don’t hesitate. The pricing is fair. The cars are great.
