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 $141 – $172.
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 hours carry no surcharge, so the time on your booking makes no difference to the price.
Travelling with a group
An SUV from Braeside costs the same $141 – $172 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 $158 – $193.
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: flag fall $5.25, distance (55.7 km at $2.34 per km) $130.34 and toll $13.19. Total $149. The published range of $141 – $172 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.

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.
