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.

How Early to Book Your Lysterfield Pickup

For a domestic flight, allow three and a half hours between leaving Lysterfield and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 49 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.

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

From Lysterfield a standard taxi is $149 to $181 and an SUV is $165 to $201, the difference being boot space rather than seats. A group of up to eleven takes the maxi at $165 to $201.

We also cover Ferntree Gully, Rowville and Scoresby on the same pricing basis, so if you are picking up passengers on the way it is worth checking those pages too.
