What the trip from Yarra Valley involves
At 65.6 km, Yarra Valley is a longer airport run: roughly 64 minutes on a clear road, closer to 96 in peak hour. The estimated fare is around $151 – $183, tolls included.
Over this distance a metered fare becomes genuinely unpredictable, because every slow patch adds to it. This is where an upfront price is worth the most.
When to leave Yarra Valley

Early departures are routine for us. The overnight hours carry no surcharge, so the time on your booking makes no difference to the price.
If you need more room

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.
- Yarra Glen 3775 56 km, around $130 to $158
- Lilydale 3140 57.7 km, around $133 to $163
- Healesville 3777 69.7 km, around $160 to $195
- Warburton 3799 99 km, around $225 to $273
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 flag fall $5.25 and distance (65.6 km at $2.34 per km) $153.50, which totals $159. We publish it as $151 – $183 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.

We used this taxi service for a trip from Altona to the airport and our return journey, and couldn’t be happier. The driver was on time both ways, communication was great from start to finish, and everything went smoothly. It was such a stress-free experience, especially after a long flight. Friendly, reliable service and we’ll definitely use them again. Highly recommend!
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.
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.
