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 Caulfield you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 62 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:55am.
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.
Caulfield to Melbourne Airport, Start to Finish

The usual way from Caulfield is CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. There is roughly $11.63 of tolls on that route, included in the estimate you see before you book.
If your pickup is closer to Caulfield North 3161, Elsternwick 3185 and Malvern East 3145, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Caulfield 3162, 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.
Where the Number Comes from
There is no zone rate behind the Caulfield price. The fare box above lists each part of it, flag fall, distance and toll. 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.
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at a typical $112 (estimate $106 – $129). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from Caulfield carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $106 – $129. 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
Back to Caulfield is the same 36.4 km journey. The only addition is the $5.26 airport pickup fee, which is the airport's charge rather than ours. Add your flight number when you book and your driver works to the real 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, where your driver waits inside with a sign and helps with the bags, is $35 and includes up to an hour of waiting time.
