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 St Kilda East you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 47 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:10am.

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.

Airport to St Kilda East

Landing at Tullamarine and heading for St Kilda East works the same way in reverse. Same distance, same rate, plus the $5.26 pickup fee the airport levies on every trip that starts there. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.

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.

For an arrival with luggage or children, meet and greet at $35 is usually worth it: your driver is inside the terminal rather than at the kerb.

Utterly professional and on time cab service!! A big shout to Deepak for ensuring smooth and wonderful trip from airport!!
Megha Verma 2 Oct 2024
Fantastic service for our early morning 3:30am airport transfer from Wyndham Vale. The communication was clear and professional from the time of booking, which gave us great peace of mind. The driver arrived right on time, making the whole experience stress-free. Our return airport pickup was equally smooth—no waiting at all, the driver was already there and ready. Highly reliable and efficient service. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing punctual and hassle-free airport transfers! Thanks

Great trip with Deep! The car was on time and exceptionally clean. Really took the difficulty of travelling to a wedding in the Dandenong ranges out of my hands. Return service was equally as smooth. Price was fair. Highly recommend!
