The journey

What the trip looks like

About 55 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 83 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Chelsea Heights Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Mornington Peninsula Fwy/M11 The first leg out of Chelsea Heights 3196.
  • Warrigal Rd/State Route 15 The main run in, covering most of the 61.5 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 55 minutes after pickup.

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Chelsea Heights, allow an extra hour on top of the drive time for check in and security. We run 24 hours, so a 3am pickup costs exactly the same as a 3pm 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. The estimated fare is around $140 – $171, tolls included.

Over this distance a metered fare becomes genuinely unpredictable, because every slow patch adds to it. This is where an upfront price is worth the most.

When to leave Chelsea Heights

Working backwards from a domestic departure, three and a half hours is a comfortable buffer from Chelsea Heights, or one more hour if you are flying international. The drive itself is 55 minutes.

Early departures are routine for us. The overnight rate applies from 5pm to 9am and is shown in your quote, so the price you book is the price you pay.

If you need more room

An SUV from Chelsea Heights is $157 – $191, the standard fare plus a $17.80 surcharge, and worth it if you are carrying extra bags or want more legroom. A maxi seating up to eleven is $157 – $191.

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.

The road we take from Chelsea Heights

Expect to travel via Mornington Peninsula Fwy/M11, Dingley Bypass/State Route 14/State Route and Warrigal Rd/State Route 15. Tolls on this route come to about $13.19 and are built into the fare, so the figure you are quoted is the figure you pay.

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.

Where the number comes from

The Chelsea Heights estimate is not guesswork. It is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (61.5 km at $2.10 per km) $129.15 and toll $13.19, which totals $148. We publish it as $140 – $171 because the exact street you are picked up from moves the distance slightly.

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.
