The journey

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Waterways, allow an extra hour 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.

What the Trip from Waterways Involves

At 66.5 km, Waterways is a longer airport run: roughly 52 minutes on a clear road, closer to 78 in peak hour. The estimated fare is around $162 to $197, tolls included.

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 Waterways Pickup

For a domestic flight, allow three and a half hours between leaving Waterways and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 52 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.

Groups and Larger Vehicles

From Waterways a standard taxi is $162 to $197 and an SUV is $179 to $218, the difference being boot space rather than seats. A group of up to eleven takes the maxi at $179 to $218.

We also cover Aspendale Gardens, Braeside and Mordialloc 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 Waterways 3195, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

The way we run every taxi to Melbourne Airport, from quoting the fare in advance to tracking arrivals, is explained in full on the service page.
