What the Trip Looks Like
About 55 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 83 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Carrum Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- McLeod Road The first leg out of Carrum.
- Monash Freeway (M1) The main run in, covering most of the 72.7 km.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 55 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 Carrum you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 83 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:35am.
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.
What the Trip from Carrum Involves
Expect 55 minutes or so from Carrum, and up to 83 if you are travelling through peak. It is 72.7 km door to terminal.
The usual way from Carrum is McLeod Road, EastLink (M3) and Monash Freeway (M1). There is roughly $17.97 of tolls on that route, included in the estimate you see before you book. On a run of 72.7 km the free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.
If your pickup is closer to Patterson Lakes 3197, Chelsea Heights 3196 and Carrum Downs 3201, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Carrum 3197, from homes and workplaces to schools, shops and any other address in the area. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
What Makes Up the Carrum Price
The fare box above shows how the Carrum price is built: flag fall, the distance and any toll, added up and rounded to the typical total. Nothing about it is a zone rate. The typical total is the sum above rounded up to the next whole dollar, and the estimate runs from 5% under it to 15% over it, the same rule for every vehicle. A different pickup street, a detour or roadworks on the day, waiting time and extras such as a baby seat are what move a fare inside that estimate.
Your pickup time sets the rate, as the table by pickup time above shows, and your estimate uses the rate for the time you choose when you book. For a fixed price, call or email us and we will confirm it before your trip. No surge, no meter, no surprises.
The SUV from Carrum is typically $194, within an estimate of $184 – $224, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It still seats four, and the gain is luggage: 4 large and 3 small bags. The maxi seats up to eleven and carries the same surcharge, which is why it is the same $184 – $224. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, per trip, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.
The Trip in the Other Direction
For the inbound trip to Carrum, add the airport's own $5.26 pickup fee to the fare above. Everything else is identical, including the 55 minute drive. Give us the flight number and we adjust to the actual landing 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.
Meet and greet is optional and costs $35. Worth it on a long haul arrival, less so if you travel light and know the terminal.
