A sedan is $70. It is about 24 km and takes around 28 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 East Melbourne to Melbourne Airport?
About 28 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 East Melbourne 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.

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.
