The journey

What the trip looks like

About 40 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 60 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Clayton Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Citylink/M2 The first leg out of Clayton 3168.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 40 minutes after pickup.

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Clayton, allow an extra thirty minutes 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.

What the trip from Clayton involves

From Clayton, Melbourne Airport is 47.2 km away. Budget 40 minutes off peak, and expect to pay around $112 – $136.

Traffic can push this out to about 60 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 Clayton pickup

Most passengers leaving Clayton give themselves three hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 40 minutes of that.

We run 24 hours, and a 3am pickup is everyday work. It uses the evening and overnight rate, which is in your quote before you book, so you can weigh an early flight against a later one with real numbers.

If you need more room

An SUV from Clayton is $129 – $157, 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 $129 – $157.

Nearby areas including Mulgrave 3170, Oakleigh 3166 and Mount Waverley 3149 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.

We cover all of Clayton 3168, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

The road we take from Clayton

The usual way from Clayton is Citylink/M2. There is roughly $13.19 of tolls on that route, included in your quoted price before you book. On a run of 47.2 km the alternative free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.

Airport to Clayton

The return runs the same 47.2 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.

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.
