The run from Docklands
From Docklands the terminal is about 22 kilometres south east, which is roughly 20 min behind the wheel once you are moving. Most of it is on the M2.
Tolls on this route come to about $6 and are built into the fare, so the $65 you see when you book is the $65 you pay. 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 Docklands we would be at your door around 3:25am, which still leaves a reasonable sleep.
For the return to Docklands we watch the flight rather than the clock. If you land late, the car lands late with you, and there is no waiting charge for a delay you did not cause.

Getting to the airport from Docklands
How much is a taxi from Docklands to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan is $65. It is about 22 km and takes around 20 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 Docklands to Melbourne Airport?
About 20 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 Docklands 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 Docklands?
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.
