The journey

What the trip looks like

About 37 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 56 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Oakleigh Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Monash Fwy/M1 The first leg out of Oakleigh 3166.
  • Citylink/M2 Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 37 minutes after pickup.

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 $103 – $126 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 rate applies from 5pm to 9am and is shown in your quote, so the price you book is the price you pay.

Travelling with a group

The SUV from Oakleigh is $120 – $147, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. The maxi is $120 – $147 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: day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (42.8 km at $2.10 per km) $89.88 and toll $13.19. That is $109, shown as $103 – $126 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.

I've had the pleasure of using Deepak's airport transportation services multiple times, and I'm consistently impressed with the reliability and efficiency he provides. Whether it's a late-night pickup or an early-morning drop-off, Deepak always answers promptly and ensures that I'm well taken care of. The cars are always immaculate, and the drivers are courteous, safe, and helpful with my luggage. Deepak is punctual and respectful, and his prices are very reasonable considering the high level of service he provides. What sets Deepak apart is his attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. He always arrives slightly early, and his drivers are friendly and accommodating. I appreciate the flexibility he offers, whether it's driving me himself or arranging for a colleague to take care of the trip. I highly recommend Deepak's services to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and courteous airport transportation in Melbourne. His professionalism and dedication to his customers are truly exceptional
