What the Trip Looks Like
About 31 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 47 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Kew Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- The main run The bulk of the 27.6 km, on the quickest route available that hour.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 31 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 Kew you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 47 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:10am.
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 Kew
Kew to the terminal is 27.6 km of driving, normally about 31 minutes and nearer 47 in peak hour.
We also cover Hawthorn 3122, Hawthorn East 3123 and Richmond 3121 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 Kew 3101, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
How the Kew Fare Is Worked Out
Nothing about the Kew fare is a zone rate. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (27.6 km at $2.10 per km) $57.96 and toll $3.96, a typical total of $68. It is shown as $64 – $79 because your street and the traffic on the day can move the distance a little either way. The typical total is the sum above rounded up to the next whole dollar, and the estimate runs from 5% under it to 15% over it, the same rule for every vehicle. A different pickup street, a detour or roadworks on the day, waiting time and extras such as a baby seat are what move a fare inside that estimate.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Kew is typically $68 by day, $75 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $83 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.
The SUV from Kew is typically $86, within an estimate of $81 – $99, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It still seats four, and the gain is luggage: 4 large and 3 small bags. The maxi seats up to eleven and carries the same surcharge, which is why it is the same $81 – $99. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, per trip, 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 Kew 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.
If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find your driver outside, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.
