The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 52 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 78 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Dandenong South Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • EastLink (M3) The first leg out of Dandenong South.
  • CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare estimate.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 52 minutes after pickup.

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 Dandenong South you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 78 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:40am.

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.

Getting from Dandenong South to Melbourne Airport

At 65.9 km, Dandenong South is a longer airport run: roughly 52 minutes on a clear road, closer to 78 in peak hour.

Your driver will use EastLink (M3), Monash Freeway (M1) and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. That adds roughly $15.16 in tolls, which sits inside the estimated fare. We do not hand you a separate toll charge at the end of the trip.

Nearby areas including Bangholme 3175, Lynbrook 3975 and Hampton Park 3976 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.

We cover all of Dandenong South 3175, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

Where the Number Comes from

The Dandenong South estimate is not guesswork. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (65.9 km at $2.10 per km) $138.39 and toll $15.16, which totals $159. We show it as $151 – $183 because the exact street you are picked up from, and the route on the day, move the distance slightly.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Dandenong South is typically $159 by day, $174 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $192 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.

The SUV from Dandenong South is $168 – $204, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. The maxi is $168 – $204 for up to eleven passengers. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.

Airport to Dandenong South

Landing at Tullamarine and heading for Dandenong South works the same way in reverse. Same distance, same rate, plus the $5.26 pickup fee the airport levies on every trip that starts there. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.

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.
