Getting from Northcote to Melbourne Airport
From Northcote the terminal is only 23.1 km south east of the terminal. That is around 25 minutes of driving, for an estimated $66 to $81.
Short runs are where people assume a meter is harmless. A ten minute hold up on the approach roads says otherwise. Yours does not move.
When to Leave Northcote
Most passengers leaving Northcote give themselves two and a half hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 25 minutes of that.
There is no late night loading and no early morning premium. The fare is the same at 4am as it is at midday.
Groups and Larger Vehicles
Carrying extra bags, take the SUV: $83 to $102 from Northcote against $66 to $81 for a standard taxi, for the same four seats and a much bigger boot. For up to eleven passengers the maxi is $83 to $102.
