What the Trip Looks Like
About 35 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 53 minutes in peak hour.

- CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway The first leg out of Elsternwick.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 35 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 Elsternwick you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 53 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:05am.
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 Elsternwick Involves
Elsternwick to the terminal is 34.4 km of driving, normally about 35 minutes and nearer 53 in peak hour.
Your driver will use CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. That adds roughly $11.63 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 Caulfield 3162, St Kilda East 3183 and Elwood 3184 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.
We cover all of Elsternwick 3185, 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.
What Makes Up the Elsternwick Price
Every part of the Elsternwick 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 Elsternwick is typically $108, within an estimate of $102 – $125, 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 $102 – $125. 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.
The Trip in the Other Direction
Flying into Melbourne and heading to Elsternwick costs the same as the trip out, plus the $5.26 airport pickup fee the airport charges on every trip that starts there. We track your flight at no extra cost, so you are collected when you actually land.
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.
