Getting from Gisborne to Melbourne Airport
From Gisborne, Melbourne Airport is 42 km away. Budget 29 minutes off peak, and expect to pay around $98 – $120.
In peak hour the same trip can stretch closer to 44 minutes. That changes when you should leave. It does not change what you pay.
How early to book your Gisborne pickup
For a domestic flight, allow three hours between leaving Gisborne and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 29 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.
We run 24 hours and there is no night rate. A 3am pickup costs the same as a 3pm one, which is worth knowing when you are weighing an early flight against a convenient one.
Travelling with a group
An SUV from Gisborne costs the same $98 – $120 as a standard taxi, so if you are carrying extra bags or want more room, take it at no extra cost. A maxi seating up to eleven is $115 – $141.
Nearby areas including Mount Macedon 3441, Sunbury 3429 and Diggers Rest 3427 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.
We cover all of Gisborne 3437, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
The route, and what it costs to use it
Drivers take Calder Fwy/M79 for this run, and there is no toll on that route. It is worth knowing, because a 42 km airport trip from this side of Melbourne often comes in lower than people expect for exactly that reason.
Coming back to Gisborne from the airport
Flying into Melbourne and heading to Gisborne costs the same as the trip out, plus the $5.26 airport pickup fee the airport charges on every departure from the rank. We track your flight at no extra cost, so you are collected when you actually land.
Where the number comes from
Broken down, a Gisborne airport trip is flag fall $5.25 and distance (42 km at $2.34 per km) $98.28. $104 all up. The $98 – $120 you see quoted is that number with a small allowance either side.
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.

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.
