Your airport run from Eltham
The run from Eltham covers 31.5 km and takes about 28 minutes in ordinary traffic. Your estimated fare is around $75 – $91 in a standard taxi or SUV.
Traffic can push this out to about 42 minutes at the wrong time of day, which is worth planning around even though it will not affect your fare.

For a domestic flight, allow three hours between leaving Eltham and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 28 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.
Early departures are routine for us. The overnight hours carry no surcharge, so the time on your booking makes no difference to the price.

Travelled from Melbourne Eastern Suburbs to Airport with this outstanding company. From the moment of my online booking to the time of arrival at each end, the communication was clear, the customer service was top notch and the ride was smooth. Easy to find and coordinate at the airport for pick up (always my concern with pre-booking taxi service). Staff were ALL friendly and professional. Cannot recommend this company enough.
