The journey

What the trip looks like

About 43 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 65 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Rowville Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Wellington Rd/State Route 18 The first leg out of Rowville 3178.
  • Citylink/M2 Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 43 minutes after pickup.

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Rowville, 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.

Your airport run from Rowville

Rowville is 54.7 km away, which puts it among the longer transfers we run. Around 43 minutes normally, up to 65 at the wrong time of day. Estimated fare around $139 – $170.

Longer trips are exactly where meters and surge pricing do the most damage. Agreeing the number first removes that entirely.

Working out your pickup time

Working backwards from a domestic departure, three and a half hours is a comfortable buffer from Rowville, or one more hour if you are flying international. The drive itself is 43 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.

If you need more room

Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV. It is priced identically at $139 – $170. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Rowville is $156 – $190.

Nearby areas including Scoresby 3179, Lysterfield 3156 and Wheelers Hill 3150 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.

We cover all of Rowville 3178, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

The road we take from Rowville

Your driver will use Wellington Rd/State Route 18 and Citylink/M2. That adds roughly $13.19 in tolls, which sits inside the quoted fare. We do not hand you a separate toll charge at the end of the trip.

The trip in the other direction

Flying into Melbourne and heading to Rowville 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.

What makes up the Rowville price

The Rowville estimate is not guesswork. It is flag fall $5.25, distance (54.7 km at $2.34 per km) $128 and toll $13.19, which totals $147. We publish it as $139 – $170 because the exact street you are picked up from moves the distance slightly.

Meet and greet is optional and costs $35. Worth it on a long haul arrival, less so if you travel light and know the pickup area.

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!

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.
