The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 51 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 77 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Ferntree Gully Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Ferntree Gully Road The first leg out of Ferntree Gully.
  • CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare estimate.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 51 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 Ferntree Gully you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 77 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 Ferntree Gully to Melbourne Airport

Ferntree Gully is 58.7 km away, which puts it among the longer transfers we run. Around 51 minutes normally, up to 77 at the wrong time of day.

This one runs via Ferntree Gully Road, Monash Freeway (M1) and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. The $13.19 in tolls is a real cost we pass on at cost, not a rounded surcharge, and it is already counted in the estimate.

Nearby areas including Boronia 3155, Lysterfield 3156 and Scoresby 3179 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.

We cover all of Ferntree Gully 3156, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

What Makes Up the Ferntree Gully Price

For a standard taxi from Ferntree Gully by day the price is built from day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (58.7 km at $2.10 per km) $123.27 and toll $13.19. That comes to $142, the typical fare. The estimate of $134 – $164 allows for your exact pickup street and the route your driver takes on the day.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Ferntree Gully is typically $142 by day, $155 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $171 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.

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.

The Trip in the Other Direction

Arriving rather than departing, the Ferntree Gully run is priced the same with the $5.26 airport pickup fee on top. We watch the flight, so if you are held up in the air or at the carousel your driver is still there.

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 someone is being collected who would rather not navigate the terminal alone, meet and greet at $35 puts the driver inside with them.
