What the Trip Looks Like

- Pickup in Eltham Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- M80 Ring Road The first leg out of Eltham.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 28 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 Eltham you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 42 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:15am.
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.
Your Airport Run from Eltham
The run from Eltham covers 31.5 km and takes about 28 minutes in ordinary traffic, closer to 42 in peak hour.
The route from Eltham follows M80 Ring Road. 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.
Nearby areas including Greensborough 3088, Templestowe Lower 3107 and Macleod 3085 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.
We cover all of Eltham 3095, 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.
How the Eltham Fare Is Worked Out
There is no zone rate behind the Eltham price. The fare box above lists each part of it, flag fall, distance and toll. 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 Eltham is typically $90, within an estimate of $85 – $104, 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 $85 – $104. 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.
Airport to Eltham
Back to Eltham is the same 31.5 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.
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.
If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find your driver outside, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.

I highly recommend this company. Everything ran smoothly with timely contact keeping me up to date with the required details. The drivers were professional and the cars were modern and clean. The drivers also had a knowledge of Melbourne which would be beneficial for someone visiting this great city for the first time.
Professional and top quality luxury vehicles - make any trip to the airport and elsewhere so much more enjoyable. Thank you!
Couldn’t ask for better service. The text notifications were very helpful, especially for such an early pickup for airport at 4:30 am. The driver arrived on time in Point Cook, helped with luggage, and provided a comfortable ride to the airport. Highly recommended.
Outstanding service. SMS booking requests are answered within 2 minutes. Texts received to say car on way, with reg number. Always on time or early. Cars are clean and comfortable. Drivers very helpful. Highly recommended.
I’ve loved knowing Deep is waiting for me at the end of a late flight - he’s always on time, always know if my flight is delayed, and pays wonderful attention to detail for his passengers. Cannot recommend more highly.
I recently used a taxi service for a trip from Tarneit to Melbourne Airport, and overall, it was a smooth and stress-free experience. The taxi arrived on time, which is critical when catching a flight. The driver even sent a confirmation text before arrival, which added peace of mind. Great Service 👍👍
