The journey

What the trip looks like

About 39 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 59 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Doncaster Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Williamsons Rd/State Route 47 The first leg out of Doncaster 3108.
  • National Highway M80 The main run in, covering most of the 38.2 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 39 minutes after pickup.

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Doncaster, 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 Doncaster involves

From Doncaster, Melbourne Airport is 38.2 km away. Budget 39 minutes off peak, and expect to pay around $81 – $99.

Traffic can push this out to about 59 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 Doncaster pickup

Most passengers leaving Doncaster give themselves three hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 39 minutes of that.

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.

Travelling with a group

Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV. It is priced identically at $81 – $99. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Doncaster is $98 – $120.

If your pickup is closer to Mont Albert North 3129, Templestowe Lower 3107 and Box Hill 3128, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.

We cover all of Doncaster 3108, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

Which way the trip runs

The route from Doncaster follows Williamsons Rd/State Route 47 and National Highway M80. 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.

The trip in the other direction

Back to Doncaster is the same 38.2 km journey. The only addition is the $5.26 airport pickup fee, which is the airport's charge rather than ours. Add your flight number when you book and your driver works to the real landing time.

What makes up the Doncaster price

Broken down, a Doncaster airport trip is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (38.2 km at $2.10 per km) $80.22. $86 all up. The $81 – $99 you see quoted is that number with a small allowance either side.

If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find the rank, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.

I have booked taxis from Croydon to Melbourne airport and back many times with this company and have had extremely positive service every time. Drivers are always on time, positive, helpful, and great drivers, and the cars are always clean and comfortable. I couldn’t recommend more highly.

Our driver, Deep, was friendly and punctual. He drove us to the Penguin Parade and even recommended us to stop by the chocolate factory since we had time, which was a bonus! The car was comfortable throughout the ride. Would definitely recommend and book again!
