For a morning departure from Thomastown, allow an extra thirty minutes on top of the drive time for check in and security. We run 24 hours, so a 3am pickup costs exactly the same as a 3pm one.

Your Airport Run from Thomastown

Thomastown sits 18.6 km east of the terminal, one of the shorter runs on our network. Allow about 22 minutes outside peak hour. The estimated fare is around $56 to $68.

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 Thomastown

For a domestic flight, allow two and a half hours between leaving Thomastown and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 22 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

Carrying extra bags, take the SUV: $73 to $89 from Thomastown against $56 to $68 for a standard taxi, for the same four seats and a much bigger boot. For up to eleven passengers the maxi is $73 to $89.

We also cover Fawkner, Campbellfield and Bundoora on the same pricing basis, so if you are picking up passengers on the way it is worth checking those pages too.

We cover all of Thomastown 3074, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
