What the Trip Looks Like
About 60 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 90 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Lilydale Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- Maroondah Highway The first leg out of Lilydale.
- Research-Warrandyte Road The main run in, covering most of the 57.7 km.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 60 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 Lilydale you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 90 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:30am.
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 Lilydale
Lilydale is 57.7 km away, which puts it among the longer transfers we run. Around 60 minutes normally, up to 90 at the wrong time of day.
Drivers take Maroondah Highway, Jumping Creek Road and Research-Warrandyte Road for this run, and there is no toll on that route. It is worth knowing, because a 57.7 km airport trip from this side of Melbourne often comes in lower than people expect for exactly that reason.
We also cover Chirnside Park 3116, Yarra Valley and Mount Evelyn 3796 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 Lilydale 3140, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
How the Lilydale Fare Is Worked Out
The Lilydale estimate is not guesswork. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (57.7 km at $2.10 per km) $121.17, which totals $127. We show it as $120 – $147 because the exact street you are picked up from, and the route on the day, move the distance slightly.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Lilydale is typically $127 by day, $140 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $156 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 Lilydale is $137 – $167, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. The maxi is $137 – $167 for up to eleven passengers. 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 Lilydale from the Airport
Landing at Tullamarine and heading for Lilydale works the same way in reverse. Same distance, same rate, plus the $5.26 pickup fee the airport levies on every trip that starts there. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.
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.
Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting inside the arrivals hall with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.

Burwood to Airport return I always have excellent service from Prahb and Sherry’s team. They are friendly and reliable service, especially early morning trips. I don't have to worry about services cancelling like some ride sharing services. The cars they use are always impeccable clean and the ride is comfortable. I highly recommend them if you are a corporate traveller like me, who travel in some ungodly hours and don't want the hassle.
