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 Moorabbin you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 68 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:50am.
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.
What the Trip from Moorabbin Involves
Moorabbin to the terminal is 48.9 km of driving, normally about 45 minutes and nearer 68 in peak hour.
This one runs via Warrigal Road, Monash Freeway (M1) and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. The $13.32 in tolls is a real cost we pass on at cost, not a rounded surcharge, and it is already counted in the estimate.
We also cover Bentleigh East 3165, Hampton East 3188 and Cheltenham 3192 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 Moorabbin 3189, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
How the Moorabbin Fare Is Worked Out
Nothing about the Moorabbin fare is a zone rate. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (48.9 km at $2.10 per km) $102.69 and toll $13.32, a typical total of $122. It is shown as $115 – $141 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 Moorabbin is typically $122 by day, $133 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $147 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 a typical $140 (estimate $133 – $161). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from Moorabbin carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $133 – $161. 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.
Airport to Moorabbin
Flying into Melbourne and heading to Moorabbin 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.
