The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 23 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 35 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Port Melbourne Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • The main run The bulk of the 25.8 km, on the quickest route available that hour.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 23 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 Port Melbourne you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 35 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:25am.

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 Port Melbourne

Port Melbourne to the terminal is 25.8 km of driving, normally about 23 minutes and nearer 35 in peak hour.

We also cover Albert Park 3206, South Melbourne 3205 and Docklands 3008 on the same pricing basis, so if you are picking up passengers on the way it is worth checking those pages too.

We cover all of Port Melbourne 3207, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

How the Port Melbourne Fare Is Worked Out

Every part of the Port Melbourne fare is visible: day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (25.8 km at $2.10 per km) $54.18 and toll $11.50 by day. That is a typical $72, shown as $68 – $83 to account for your pickup point and the route on the day.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Port Melbourne is typically $72 by day, $78 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $86 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.

Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at $84 – $103. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Port Melbourne is $84 – $103. 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

Flying into Melbourne and heading to Port Melbourne 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 frequently take a taxi to & from Melbourne Airport. I always use the same driver service. They offer exceptional service: always on time, very polite & well dressed, and their cars are luxury. Nothing is ever to much trouble. You feel safe & travel in style, what more could you ask for. I'd give 10 stars if I could.
