The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 20 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 30 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Sunbury Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Riddell Road (C743) The first leg out of Sunbury.
  • Sunbury Road (C743) The main run in, covering most of the 18.9 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 20 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 Sunbury 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.

Sunbury to Melbourne Airport, Start to Finish

Sunbury sits 18.9 km north west of the terminal, one of the shorter runs on our network. Allow about 20 minutes outside peak hour.

Drivers use Riddell Road (C743), Bulla Road (C743) and Sunbury Road (C743), a toll free route the whole way. Nothing is added to the 18.9 km fare for road charges.

Nearby areas including Diggers Rest 3427, Plumpton 3335 and Gisborne 3437 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.

We cover all of Sunbury 3429, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

Where the Number Comes from

For a standard taxi from Sunbury by day the price is built from day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (18.9 km at $2.10 per km) $39.69. That comes to $46, the typical fare. The estimate of $43 – $53 allows for your exact pickup street and the route your driver takes on the day.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Sunbury is typically $46 by day, $51 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $57 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 Sunbury is $59 – $73, 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 $59 – $73. 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 Sunbury

The return runs the same 18.9 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.

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.

I’ve been using this company for over a year now for any work trip I have to take, and will continue to do so. Always on time, great communication via text, the cars are always beautifully clean and usually more luxurious than an uber, the drivers are always polite and friendly and also drive safely. Highly recommend.
