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 Truganina you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 30 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:30am.
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 Truganina to Melbourne Airport
Truganina is 22.4 km away, so the drive is short: roughly 20 minutes when the roads are clear.
The usual way from Truganina is Palmers Road (A91) and Western Ring Road (M80). No toll road is involved, so nothing is added to your fare for road charges.
If your pickup is closer to Laverton North 3026, Williams Landing 3027 and Altona Meadows 3028, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Truganina 3029, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
Where the Number Comes from
Nothing about the Truganina fare is a zone rate. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (22.4 km at $2.10 per km) $47.04, a typical total of $53. It is shown as $50 – $61 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 Truganina is typically $53 by day, $59 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $66 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.
The SUV from Truganina is typically $71, within an estimate of $67 – $82, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It still seats four, and the gain is luggage: 4 large and 3 small bags. The maxi seats up to eleven and carries the same surcharge, which is why it is the same $67 – $82. 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 Truganina from the Airport
The return runs the same 22.4 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.
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.

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 👍👍
