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 Chelsea Heights 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.
Your Airport Run from Chelsea Heights
At 61.5 km, Chelsea Heights is a longer airport run: roughly 55 minutes on a clear road, closer to 83 in peak hour.
Expect to travel via Mornington Peninsula Freeway (M11), Dingley Bypass and Warrigal Road. Tolls on this route come to about $13.32 and are built into the fare estimate, not charged on top at the end of the trip.
Nearby areas including Patterson Lakes 3197, Aspendale Gardens 3195 and Bangholme 3175 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.
We cover all of Chelsea Heights 3196, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
Where the Number Comes from
The Chelsea Heights estimate is not guesswork. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (61.5 km at $2.10 per km) $129.15 and toll $13.32, which totals $148. We show it as $140 – $171 because the exact street you are picked up from, and the route on the day, move the distance slightly. 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. A standard taxi from Chelsea Heights is typically $148 by day, $162 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $179 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 Chelsea Heights is typically $166 (estimate $157 – $191): the standard fare plus a $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It seats four, like a sedan, with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For five or more passengers take the maxi, which seats up to eleven and carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is also typically $166 (estimate $157 – $191). 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.
Coming Back to Chelsea Heights from the Airport
The return runs the same 61.5 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.
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.
