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. Estimated fare around $152 – $184.
Longer trips are exactly where meters and surge pricing do the most damage. Agreeing the number first removes that entirely.
When to leave Lysterfield
Working backwards from a domestic departure, three and a half hours is a comfortable buffer from Lysterfield, or one more hour if you are flying international. The drive itself is 49 minutes.
Early departures are routine for us. The overnight hours carry no surcharge, so the time on your booking makes no difference to the price.
Groups and larger vehicles
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV. It is priced identically at $152 – $184. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Lysterfield is $169 – $205.
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.
Which way the trip runs
The usual way from Lysterfield is Wellington Rd/C413 and Citylink/M2. There is roughly $13.19 of tolls on that route, included in your quoted price before you book. On a run of 60.2 km the alternative free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.
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 vehicle leaving the rank. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.
How the Lysterfield fare is worked out
For a standard taxi from Lysterfield the price is built from flag fall $5.25, distance (60.2 km at $2.34 per km) $140.87 and toll $13.19. That comes to $160, and the $152 – $184 range you see allows for your exact pickup address and the route your driver ends up taking.
Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting airside of the exit with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.

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.
