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 Cardinia you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 95 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:25am.
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 Cardinia
At 86.9 km, Cardinia is well outside metropolitan Melbourne. We run it daily, around 63 minutes each way.
This one runs via Cardinia Road and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. 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 estimate.
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.
How the Cardinia Fare Is Worked Out
Nothing about the Cardinia fare is a zone rate. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (86.9 km at $2.10 per km) $182.49 and toll $13.19, a typical total of $202. It is shown as $191 – $233 because your street and the traffic on the day can move the distance a little either way.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Cardinia is typically $202 by day, $220 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $243 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 Cardinia is $208 – $252, 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 $208 – $252. 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.
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 trip that starts there. We track your flight at no extra cost, so you are collected when you actually land.
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.
If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find your driver outside, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.
