The journey

What the trip looks like

About 30 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 45 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in St Kilda Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Citylink/M2 The first leg out of St Kilda 3182.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 30 minutes after pickup.

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from St Kilda, 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 St Kilda

From St Kilda, Melbourne Airport is 30.1 km away. Budget 30 minutes off peak, and expect to pay around $76 – $94.

Traffic can push this out to about 45 minutes at the wrong time of day, which is worth planning around even though it will not affect your fare.

Working out your pickup time

For a domestic flight, allow three hours between leaving St Kilda and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 30 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.

We run 24 hours, and a 3am pickup is everyday work. It uses the evening and overnight rate, which is in your quote before you book, so you can weigh an early flight against a later one with real numbers.

If you need more room

An SUV from St Kilda is $93 – $113, the standard fare plus a $17.80 surcharge, and worth it if you are carrying extra bags or want more legroom. A maxi seating up to eleven is $93 – $113.

Nearby areas including Windsor 3181, St Kilda East 3183 and Elwood 3184 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.

We cover all of St Kilda 3182, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

The road we take from St Kilda

The usual way from St Kilda is Citylink/M2. There is roughly $11.50 of tolls on that route, included in your quoted price before you book. On a run of 30.1 km the alternative free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.

Airport to St Kilda

Flying into Melbourne and heading to St Kilda 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 St Kilda price

Nothing about the St Kilda fare is a zone rate. It is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (30.1 km at $2.10 per km) $63.21 and toll $11.50, totalling $81, which is why the figure quoted is $76 – $94 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.

I recently used a taxi service for a trip from Tarneit to Melbourne Airport, and overall, it was a smooth and stress-free experience. The taxi arrived on time, which is critical when catching a flight. The driver even sent a confirmation text before arrival, which added peace of mind. Great Service 👍👍

I’ve loved knowing Deep is waiting for me at the end of a late flight - he’s always on time, always know if my flight is delayed, and pays wonderful attention to detail for his passengers. Cannot recommend more highly.

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.

Kala Yatawara 26 Oct 2024
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.
