The run from Carlton
From Carlton the terminal is about 21 kilometres south east, which is roughly 23 min behind the wheel once you are moving. Most of it is on the M2.
You will pass through a toll on the way in. We have costed it at about $6 and included it, which is why the quoted $65 does not move on the day. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
Being this near the airport has one real advantage: a dawn departure does not cost you the night before it. For a 6am flight out of Carlton we would be at your door around 3:22am, which still leaves a reasonable sleep.
Coming the other way we track the inbound flight and meet you when the aircraft actually lands, so a delay is the airline's problem rather than yours.

Getting to the airport from Carlton
How much is a taxi from Carlton to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan is $65. It is about 20 km and takes around 23 min. The price is fixed before you travel and includes tolls, so it does not change with traffic or the meter.
How long does it take to get from Carlton to Melbourne Airport?
About 23 min in normal conditions. We recommend arriving at Tullamarine two hours before a domestic flight and three before international, and we work backwards from that when you tell us your flight time.
Can I get a taxi from Carlton to the airport at night?
Yes. We run 24 hours, 7 days, including very early departures and late night arrivals. Book ahead for a pickup before 5am so the car is allocated to you rather than dispatched on the night.
Can you bring a child seat to Carlton?
Yes. A capsule, forward facing seat or booster is $40 per seat, fitted before we reach you. Tell us your child's age and rough weight when you book so we bring the right one.
