The run from Eltham
It is a 32 kilometre run from Eltham to Tullamarine, 28 min of driving in ordinary traffic. Most of it is on the National Highway M80.
The trip crosses a tolled section, roughly $6 worth. That is already inside the $90 you are quoted rather than appearing afterwards as a surprise line. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
For a 6am flight the pickup lands around 3:17am, working back from two hours at the terminal plus the drive. Later departures are easier again, and we set the time from your flight rather than asking you to guess it.
For the return to Eltham 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 Eltham
How much is a taxi from Eltham to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan is $90. It is about 31 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 Eltham 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 Eltham 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 Eltham?
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.
