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 Yarra Valley you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 96 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:20am.
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.
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.
You will travel on Melba Highway (B300), Symonds Street (C726) and M80 Ring Road. No tolls apply on this route, so the fare is distance and flag fall only.
Nearby areas including Coldstream 3770, Lilydale 3140 and Chirnside Park 3116 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.
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 $116 to $142
- 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.
How the Yarra Valley Fare Is Worked Out
The Yarra Valley estimate is not guesswork. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (65.6 km at $2.10 per km) $137.76, which totals $144. We show it as $136 – $166 because the exact street you are picked up from, and the route on the day, move the distance slightly.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Yarra Valley is typically $144 by day, $158 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $176 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 Yarra Valley is $152 – $186, the standard fare plus a $17.80 surcharge, and worth it if you are carrying extra bags or want more legroom. A maxi seating up to eleven is $152 – $186. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.
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.
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 is optional and costs $35. Worth it on a long haul arrival, less so if you travel light and know the terminal.
