What the Trip Looks Like
About 58 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 87 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Cranbourne Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- South Gippsland Highway (B21) The first leg out of Cranbourne.

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 Cranbourne you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 87 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:30am.
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.
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 door to terminal.
This one runs via South Gippsland Highway (B21) and South Gippsland Freeway (M420). The $13.32 in tolls is a real cost we pass on at cost, not a rounded surcharge, and it is already counted in the estimate.
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.
Where the Number Comes from
Broken down, a Cranbourne airport trip by day is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (73.9 km at $2.10 per km) $155.19 and toll $13.32. Typically $174 all up, within an estimate of $165 – $201 that allows for your pickup point and the route taken. 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 Cranbourne is typically $174 by day, $191 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $210 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.
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at a typical $192 (estimate $182 – $221). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from Cranbourne carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $182 – $221. 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 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.
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.
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.
