What the Trip Looks Like
About 40 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 60 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Brighton Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- New Street The first leg out of Brighton.
- CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare estimate.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 40 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 Brighton you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 60 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6am.
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.
Your Airport Run from Brighton
The run from Brighton covers 36 km and takes about 40 minutes in ordinary traffic, closer to 60 in peak hour.
Your driver will use New Street, Nepean Highway and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. That adds roughly $11.50 in tolls, which sits inside the estimated fare. We do not hand you a separate toll charge at the end of the trip.
We also cover Hampton 3188, Bayside and Elsternwick 3185 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 Brighton 3186, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
How the Brighton Fare Is Worked Out
Adding it up from Brighton by day: day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (36 km at $2.10 per km) $75.60 and toll $11.50. Typical total $93. The estimate of $88 – $107 covers the variation between one pickup address and another and the route on the day.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Brighton is typically $93 by day, $102 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $112 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 Brighton is $105 – $128, 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 $105 – $128. 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.
Airport to Brighton
Landing at Tullamarine and heading for Brighton works the same way in reverse. Same distance, same rate, plus the $5.26 pickup fee the airport levies on every trip that starts there. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.
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.
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.
