What the Trip Looks Like
About 30 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 45 minutes in peak hour.

- CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway The first leg out of St Kilda.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 30 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 St Kilda you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 45 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:15am.
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.
Your Airport Run from St Kilda
From St Kilda, Melbourne Airport is 30.1 km away. Budget 30 minutes off peak and up to 45 when the freeways are busy.
The usual way from St Kilda is CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. There is roughly $11.63 of tolls on that route, included in the estimate you see before you book. On a run of 30.1 km the free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.
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.
What Makes Up the St Kilda Price
Nothing about the St Kilda fare is a zone rate. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (30.1 km at $2.10 per km) $63.21 and toll $11.63, a typical total of $81. It is shown as $76 – $94 because your street and the traffic on the day can move the distance a little either way. The typical total is the sum above rounded up to the next whole dollar, and the estimate runs from 5% under it to 15% over it, the same rule for every vehicle. A different pickup street, a detour or roadworks on the day, waiting time and extras such as a baby seat are what move a fare inside that estimate.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from St Kilda is typically $81 by day, $88 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $97 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.
An SUV from St Kilda is typically $99 (estimate $94 – $114): the standard fare plus a $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It seats four, like a sedan, with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For five or more passengers take the maxi, which seats up to eleven and carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is also typically $99 (estimate $94 – $114). Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, per trip, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.
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 trip that starts there. We track your flight at no extra cost, so you are collected when you actually land.
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.
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.
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.
