Fares across the Yarra Valley
Yarra Valley is a region, not a single suburb, and it is a long one. Yarra Glen 3775 is 56 km from the terminal and Warburton 3799 is 99 km, so a single fare would be wrong for most of the valley. The estimate above is for the middle of it. Here is what each town actually costs.

- Lilydale 3140 57.7 km, around $120 to $147
- Healesville 3777 69.7 km, around $144 to $175
- Warburton 3799 99 km, around $203 to $247
Cellar doors, lodges and wedding venues sit between these towns rather than in them, so give us the property name when you book and we price the exact address rather than the nearest township.
The route, and what it costs to use it
You will travel on Melba Hwy/B300, Symonds St/C726 and National Highway M80. No tolls apply on this route, so the fare is distance and flag fall only.
Airport to Yarra Valley
For the inbound trip to Yarra Valley, add the airport's own $5.26 pickup fee to the fare above. Everything else is identical, including the 64 minute drive. Give us the flight number and we adjust to the actual landing time.
How the Yarra Valley fare is worked out
The Yarra Valley estimate is not guesswork. It is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (65.6 km at $2.10 per km) $137.76, which totals $144. We publish it as $136 – $166 because the exact street you are picked up from moves the distance slightly.
Meet and greet is optional and costs $35. Worth it on a long haul arrival, less so if you travel light and know the pickup area.
