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 Craigieburn you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 26 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:30am.
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 Craigieburn
Craigieburn is 16.5 km away, so the drive is short: roughly 17 minutes when the roads are clear.
The route from Craigieburn follows Craigieburn Road (A72) and Oaklands Road. There is no toll section on it, which is one reason this run prices better than trips of a similar length on the other side of the city.
Nearby areas including Donnybrook 3064, Wollert 3750 and Epping 3076 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.
We cover all of Craigieburn 3064, 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.
How the Craigieburn Fare Is Worked Out
Every part of the Craigieburn fare is in the fare box above, from the flag fall to the toll, so you can check the sum yourself. 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.
The SUV from Craigieburn is typically $58, within an estimate of $55 – $67, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It still seats four, and the gain is luggage: 4 large and 3 small bags. The maxi seats up to eleven and carries the same surcharge, which is why it is the same $55 – $67. 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 Craigieburn from the Airport
For the inbound trip to Craigieburn, add the airport's own $5.26 pickup fee to the fare above. Everything else is identical, including the 17 minute drive. Give us the flight number and we adjust to the actual 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.

Deepak was courteous, helpful, and made sure I reached my destination safely and on time. I would highly recommend Deepak’s Taxi Service to anyone looking for a trustworthy, comfortable, and professional taxi service in Melbourne. Excellent service from start to finish!
Have been using this taxi company for the last 2 years and ive never thought about leaving a review (prob coz I'm not always leaving them haha) but this company goes beyond their clients needs and easy communication comfortable taxis and super friendly and professional drivers 😊 Yes there is a price for these benefits but when you're heading to the airport you just want to relax and enjoy the whole time 😬😬

Great Taxi service in Truganina. Booked for airport transfers early morning but the taxi arrived 10 mins before the pick up time for the peace of mind and had really great communication throughout. Highly recommend to all. 👍🏻
I have been using this service for several years, for my weekly airport pre-dawn pickups and evening return trips. Never once have they been late, the cars are clean and comfortable, and the drivers are excellent. I highly recommend this service!
been travelling to many countries and using many taxi services. In my personal opinion, this taxi service is better than Dubai's taxi service. Immediate responding to messages and adjusting time due to flight delays are amazing, as is a friendly driver with good experience and luxury vehicles with reasonable rates. punctual when dropping off and picking up from the airport, highly recommending
