The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 38 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 57 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Carnegie Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway The first leg out of Carnegie.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 38 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 Carnegie you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 57 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 Carnegie

From Carnegie, Melbourne Airport is 39.6 km away. Budget 38 minutes off peak and up to 57 when the freeways are busy.

The usual way from Carnegie is CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. There is roughly $13.19 of tolls on that route, included in the estimate you see before you book. On a run of 39.6 km the free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.

If your pickup is closer to Murrumbeena 3163, Malvern East 3145 and Caulfield 3162, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.

We cover all of Carnegie 3163, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

What Makes Up the Carnegie Price

Nothing about the Carnegie fare is a zone rate. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (39.6 km at $2.10 per km) $83.16 and toll $13.19, a typical total of $102. It is shown as $96 – $118 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 Carnegie is typically $102 by day, $112 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $123 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.

Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at $114 – $138. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Carnegie is $114 – $138. 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 Carnegie from the Airport

The return runs the same 39.6 km and the same estimated fare, with one difference: a $5.26 airport pickup fee set by the airport itself, which every operator charges. Give us your flight number and we watch the arrival time, so a delay moves your pickup rather than costing you waiting time.

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 someone is being collected who would rather not navigate the terminal alone, meet and greet at $35 puts the driver inside with them.

Car was ordered for 10:30, arrived exactly on time, suitcase was loaded for me so no lifting :-) Interior was spotless and comfortable. Driving was smooth and we felt safe with the driver who managed the heavy traffic with confidence. Would recommend without hesitation.
