The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 69 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 104 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Olinda Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Mount Dandenong Tourist Road (C415) The first leg out of Olinda.
  • Ferntree Gully Road The main run in, covering most of the 72.7 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 69 minutes after pickup.

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 Olinda you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 104 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:15am.

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.

Getting from Olinda to Melbourne Airport

Expect 69 minutes or so from Olinda, and up to 104 if you are travelling through peak. It is 72.7 km door to terminal.

Expect to travel via Mount Dandenong Tourist Road (C415), Burwood Highway and Ferntree Gully Road. Tolls on this route come to about $13.19 and are built into the fare estimate, not charged on top at the end of the trip.

We also cover Mount Dandenong 3767, The Patch 3792 and Montrose 3765 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 Olinda 3788, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

How the Olinda Fare Is Worked Out

Adding it up from Olinda by day: day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (72.7 km at $2.10 per km) $152.67 and toll $13.19. Typical total $172. The estimate of $163 – $198 covers the variation between one pickup address and another and the route on the day.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Olinda is typically $172 by day, $188 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $207 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 $180 – $219. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Olinda is $180 – $219. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.

The Trip in the Other Direction

For the inbound trip to Olinda, add the airport's own $5.26 pickup fee to the fare above. Everything else is identical, including the 69 minute drive. Give us the flight number and we adjust to the actual 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.

Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting inside the arrivals hall with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.

upkar singh 5 Apr 2025
I recently used this taxi service from the western suburbs to Melbourne Airport and had a great experience. The driver was very helpful, especially with my child, which made the whole journey much less stressful. The car was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. He arrived before the scheduled time, and the airport drop-off was completely hassle free. The driver also drove very safely and smoothly throughout the trip. Highly recommend this service for anyone looking for a reliable and professional airport transfer.
