Country runs are usually where quoting gets vague. Ours is a number on the page, the same one you pay at the end.
When to leave Cardinia
For a domestic flight, allow four hours between leaving Cardinia and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 63 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.
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.
Travelling with a group
An SUV from Cardinia costs the same $210 – $256 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 $228 – $276.
If your pickup is closer to Officer South 3809, Clyde North 3978 and Officer 3809, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Cardinia 3978, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
The road we take from Cardinia
This one runs via Cardinia Rd and Citylink/M2. The $13.19 in tolls is a real cost we pass on at cost, not a rounded surcharge, and it is already counted in the price you see.
Coming back to Cardinia from the airport
Flying into Melbourne and heading to Cardinia costs the same as the trip out, plus the $5.26 airport pickup fee the airport charges on every departure from the rank. We track your flight at no extra cost, so you are collected when you actually land.
How the Cardinia fare is worked out
Nothing about the Cardinia fare is a zone rate. It is flag fall $5.25, distance (86.9 km at $2.34 per km) $203.35 and toll $13.19, totalling $222, which is why the figure quoted is $210 – $256 rather than a round number.
If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find the rank, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.

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.
