The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 49 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 74 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Lysterfield Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Wellington Road (C413) The first leg out of Lysterfield.
  • CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare estimate.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 49 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 Lysterfield you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 74 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:45am.

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 Lysterfield to Melbourne Airport

Lysterfield is 60.2 km away, which puts it among the longer transfers we run. Around 49 minutes normally, up to 74 at the wrong time of day.

The usual way from Lysterfield is Wellington Road (C413) and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. There is roughly $13.19 of tolls on that route, included in the estimate you see before you book. On a run of 60.2 km the free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.

If your pickup is closer to Ferntree Gully 3156, Rowville 3178 and Scoresby 3179, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.

We cover all of Lysterfield 3156, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

How the Lysterfield Fare Is Worked Out

For a standard taxi from Lysterfield by day the price is built from day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (60.2 km at $2.10 per km) $126.42 and toll $13.19. That comes to $146, the typical fare. The estimate of $138 – $168 allows for your exact pickup street and the route your driver takes on the day.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Lysterfield is typically $146 by day, $159 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $175 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 $154 – $188. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Lysterfield is $154 – $188. 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

Landing at Tullamarine and heading for Lysterfield 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.

Julia M 13 Oct 2026
We have used this company on a number of occasions and without exception, the service offered has been exemplary. The drivers, (most recently, Deep) have all been particularly helpful, friendly and provide regular updates on arrival times and meeting points. Their luxury cars are always immaculate and this, along with the professionalism of the drivers, makes travel to and from the airport stress free and enjoyable.
