The run from Garden City
Count on 26 min and around 25 kilometres between Garden City and the Tullamarine terminal.
The trip crosses a tolled section, roughly $6 worth. That is already inside the $70 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.
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 Garden City we would be at your door around 3:19am, which still leaves a reasonable sleep.
For the return to Garden City 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. The distance shown here is measured from the centre of the suburb, so your exact fare is confirmed against your pickup address when you book.

A sedan is $70. It is about 24 km and takes around 26 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 Garden City to Melbourne Airport?
About 26 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 Garden City 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.
