Getting from Chelsea to Melbourne Airport

Chelsea is 61.9 km away, which puts it among the longer transfers we run. Around 51 minutes normally, up to 77 at the wrong time of day. Estimated fare around $152 to $186.

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 Chelsea

For a domestic flight, allow three and a half hours between leaving Chelsea and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 51 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.

There is no late night loading and no early morning premium. The fare is the same at 4am as it is at midday.

Travelling with a Group

From Chelsea a standard taxi is $152 to $186 and an SUV is $169 to $205, the difference being boot space rather than seats. A group of up to eleven takes the maxi at $169 to $205.
