Flying out early?
For a morning departure from Oakleigh, allow an extra thirty minutes on top of the drive time for check in and security. We run 24 hours, so a 3am pickup costs exactly the same as a 3pm one.
What the trip from Oakleigh involves
Oakleigh to the terminal is 42.8 km of driving, normally about 37 minutes. The price is estimated at $113 – $137 before you travel.
In peak hour the same trip can stretch closer to 56 minutes. That changes when you should leave. It does not change what you pay.
Working out your pickup time
Working backwards from a domestic departure, three hours is a comfortable buffer from Oakleigh, or one more hour if you are flying international. The drive itself is 37 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.
Travelling with a group
There is no premium for the SUV: it is the same $113 – $137 as a standard taxi from Oakleigh. Only the maxi differs, at $130 – $158 for up to eleven passengers.
We also cover Murrumbeena 3163, Carnegie 3163 and Clayton 3168 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 Oakleigh 3166, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
The route, and what it costs to use it
Expect to travel via Monash Fwy/M1 and Citylink/M2. Tolls on this route come to about $13.19 and are built into the fare, so the figure you are quoted is the figure you pay.
Coming back to Oakleigh from the airport
Back to Oakleigh is the same 42.8 km journey. The only addition is the $5.26 airport pickup fee, which is the airport's charge rather than ours. Add your flight number when you book and your driver works to the real landing time.
Where the number comes from
Every part of the Oakleigh fare is visible: flag fall $5.25, distance (42.8 km at $2.34 per km) $100.15 and toll $13.19. That is $119, shown as $113 – $137 to account for your pickup point and the route on the day.
Meet and greet, where your driver waits inside with a sign and helps with the bags, is $35 and includes up to an hour of waiting time.

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.
