What the Trip Looks Like

- Calder Freeway (M79) The first leg out of Gisborne.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 29 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 Gisborne you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 44 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.
Getting from Gisborne to Melbourne Airport
From Gisborne, Melbourne Airport is 42 km away. Budget 29 minutes off peak and up to 44 when the freeways are busy.
Drivers take Calder Freeway (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.
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.
Where the Number Comes from
Broken down, a Gisborne airport trip by day is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (42 km at $2.10 per km) $88.20. Typically $94 all up, within an estimate of $89 – $109 that allows for your pickup point and the route taken.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Gisborne is typically $94 by day, $104 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $116 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.
An SUV from Gisborne is $106 – $129, the standard fare plus a $17.80 surcharge, and worth it if you are carrying extra bags or want more legroom. A maxi seating up to eleven is $106 – $129. 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.
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 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.

I had an amazing airport pick up and drop off. Deep’s service was truly exceptional. I have found my go to pick up and drop off service in Melbourne. Highly, highly recommend!
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.
We used this taxi service for a trip from Altona to the airport and our return journey, and couldn’t be happier. The driver was on time both ways, communication was great from start to finish, and everything went smoothly. It was such a stress-free experience, especially after a long flight. Friendly, reliable service and we’ll definitely use them again. Highly recommend!
Deep, our Taxi Driver on Thursday 17/9, whom we met in person for the first time, was very courteous, friendly & kind. He was very punctual too, arriving several minutes before our designated pick up time. We felt totally safe during our ride in a Taxi that was in immaculate condition, both inside & out. It was a real pleasure to go to our destination with Deep. We can recommend him to anyone, such was our experience with him on the aforementioned date. Thank you again Deep. See you again soon!
