Flying out early?
For a morning departure from Richmond, 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.
Richmond to Melbourne Airport, start to finish
Richmond to the terminal is 32 km of driving, normally about 29 minutes. The price is estimated at $81 – $99 before you travel.
In peak hour the same trip can stretch closer to 44 minutes. That changes when you should leave. It does not change what you pay.
Working out your pickup time
Most passengers leaving Richmond give themselves three hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 29 minutes of that.
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.
If you need more room
The SUV from Richmond is $98 – $120, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. The maxi is $98 – $120 for up to eleven passengers.
We also cover South Yarra 3141, East Melbourne 3002 and Toorak 3142 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 Richmond 3121, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
Which way the trip runs
Expect to travel via Citylink/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 Richmond from the airport
Flying into Melbourne and heading to Richmond costs the same as the trip out, plus the $5.26 airport pickup fee the airport charges on every departure from the rank. We track your flight at no extra cost, so you are collected when you actually land.
How the Richmond fare is worked out
Nothing about the Richmond fare is a zone rate. It is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (32 km at $2.10 per km) $67.20 and toll $13.19, totalling $86, which is why the figure quoted is $81 – $99 rather than a round number.
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.

Love this team! Deep and the crew always pick me up on time and offer the best service. I always feel safe and taken care of, and they always get me to where I need to be on time, if not early. Highly recommend.
We used this taxi service for a trip from Altona to the airport and our return journey, and couldn’t be happier. The driver was on time both ways, communication was great from start to finish, and everything went smoothly. It was such a stress-free experience, especially after a long flight. Friendly, reliable service and we’ll definitely use them again. Highly recommend!
