Caulfield to Melbourne Airport, start to finish

The run from Caulfield covers 37.3 km and takes about 46 minutes in ordinary traffic. Your estimated fare is around $99 – $121 in a standard taxi or SUV.

Traffic can push this out to about 69 minutes at the wrong time of day, which is worth planning around even though it will not affect your fare.

How early to book your Caulfield pickup

Working backwards from a domestic departure, three hours is a comfortable buffer from Caulfield, or one more hour if you are flying international. The drive itself is 46 minutes.

There is no late night loading and no early morning premium. The fare is the same at 4am as it is at midday.

Groups and larger vehicles

Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV. It is priced identically at $99 – $121. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Caulfield is $115 – $141.

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, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

The route, and what it costs to use it

The usual way from Caulfield is Citylink/M2. There is roughly $11.50 of tolls on that route, included in your quoted price before you book. On a run of 37.3 km the alternative free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.

The trip in the other direction

Back to Caulfield is the same 37.3 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.

I frequently take a taxi to & from Melbourne Airport. I always use the same driver service. They offer exceptional service: always on time, very polite & well dressed, and their cars are luxury. Nothing is ever to much trouble. You feel safe & travel in style, what more could you ask for. I'd give 10 stars if I could.
