What the Trip Looks Like

- Pickup in Oakleigh Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.

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 Oakleigh you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 56 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6am.
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 Oakleigh Involves
Oakleigh to the terminal is 42.8 km of driving, normally about 37 minutes and nearer 56 in peak hour.
Expect to travel via Monash Freeway (M1) and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. Tolls on this route come to about $13.32 and are built into the fare estimate, not charged on top at the end of the trip.
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.
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 $13.32 by day. That is a typical $109, shown as $103 – $126 to account for your pickup point and the route on the day. 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 Oakleigh is typically $109 by day, $119 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $131 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.
The SUV from Oakleigh is typically $127, within an estimate of $120 – $147, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It still seats four, and the gain is luggage: 4 large and 3 small bags. The maxi seats up to eleven and carries the same surcharge, which is why it is the same $120 – $147. 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.
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.
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.
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.
