What the Trip Looks Like
About 40 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 60 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Surrey Hills Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- Canterbury Road The first leg out of Surrey Hills.
- CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare estimate.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 40 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 Surrey Hills you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 60 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6am.
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.
Getting from Surrey Hills to Melbourne Airport
Surrey Hills to the terminal is 41.1 km of driving, normally about 40 minutes and nearer 60 in peak hour.
This one runs via Canterbury Road and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. The $13.32 in tolls is a real cost we pass on at cost, not a rounded surcharge, and it is already counted in the estimate.
Nearby areas including Balwyn 3103, Box Hill 3128 and Camberwell 3124 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.
We cover all of Surrey Hills 3127, from homes and workplaces to schools, shops and any other address in the area. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
What Makes Up the Surrey Hills Price
There is no zone rate behind the Surrey Hills price. The fare box above lists each part of it, flag fall, distance and toll. 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, as the table by pickup time above shows, and your estimate uses the rate for the time you choose when you book. For a fixed price, call or email us and we will confirm it before your trip. No surge, no meter, no surprises.
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at a typical $123 (estimate $116 – $142). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from Surrey Hills carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $116 – $142. 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.
Coming Back to Surrey Hills from the Airport
The return runs the same 41.1 km and the same estimated fare, with one difference: a $5.26 airport pickup fee set by the airport itself, which every operator charges. Give us your flight number and we watch the arrival time, so a delay moves your pickup rather than costing you waiting time.
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.
If someone is being collected who would rather not navigate the terminal alone, meet and greet at $35 puts the driver inside with them.

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 👍👍
Car was ordered for 10:30, arrived exactly on time, suitcase was loaded for me so no lifting :-) Interior was spotless and comfortable. Driving was smooth and we felt safe with the driver who managed the heavy traffic with confidence. Would recommend without hesitation.
