Flying out early?
For a morning departure from Cranbourne, 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.
What the trip from Cranbourne involves
Expect 58 minutes or so from Cranbourne, and up to 87 if you are travelling through peak. It is 73.9 km, and the fare is estimated around $165 – $201.
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 Cranbourne
Working backwards from a domestic departure, three and a half hours is a comfortable buffer from Cranbourne, or one more hour if you are flying international. The drive itself is 58 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.
Groups and larger vehicles
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at $182 – $221. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Cranbourne is $182 – $221.
If your pickup is closer to Cranbourne East 3977, Clyde North 3978 and Lyndhurst 3975, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Cranbourne 3977, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
The road we take from Cranbourne
This one runs via S Gippsland Hwy/High St/B21/M420, S Gippsland Hwy/A21/M420/State Route 180 and S Gippsland Fwy/M420/M780. The $13.19 in tolls is a real cost we pass on at cost, not a rounded surcharge, and it is already counted in the price you see.
Coming back to Cranbourne from the airport
The return runs the same 73.9 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
Broken down, a Cranbourne airport trip is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (73.9 km at $2.10 per km) $155.19 and toll $13.19. $174 all up. The $165 – $201 you see quoted is that number with a small allowance either side.
For an arrival with luggage or children, meet and greet at $35 is usually worth it: your driver is inside the terminal rather than at the kerb.

Booked taxi to airport from Hawthorn very early in the morning but Deep made it way easier. Clear communication, Great driver and very professional service. Highly Recommended to all 👍👍
I travel almost weekly for work to and from the Airport to Hawthorn East. I have been using this company now (Prabh, Sherry, Deep and co) for well over a year and never once had a bad or even average experience, they are always so responsive, professional and just great guys in general! Several times I have needed a car (or 2 for work colleagues from SYD) at very short notice and they have arrived within minutes with immediate confirmation as always. On top of that their cars are always spotless and very comfortable. I recommend all my work colleagues from Sydney to use this company and they are equally as impressed. Out of the 100 lifts their service has been flawless. Don’t use anyone else in Melbourne!
Feel very comfortable and safe.been using the service from dandenong to the airport

I always use this taxi service from Hampton Park to Melbourne Airport. Best taxi service, always on time, and clean car, and highly recommended.
My rides to and from the airport were on time and extremely comfortable. Drivers were most personable. I appreciated the text notifications about pickups very much.
We used this taxi service for a trip from Altona to the airport and our return journey, and couldn’t be happier. The driver was on time both ways, communication was great from start to finish, and everything went smoothly. It was such a stress-free experience, especially after a long flight. Friendly, reliable service and we’ll definitely use them again. Highly recommend!
