The run from Highett
Count on 40 min and around 46 kilometres between Highett and the Tullamarine terminal.
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 $120 does not move on the day. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
For a 6am flight the pickup lands around 3:05am, 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.
On the way back to Highett the pickup follows your arrival time, not your scheduled one. Send us the flight number and we do the rest. 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 $120. It is about 45 km and takes around 40 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 Highett to Melbourne Airport?
About 40 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 Highett 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 Highett?
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.
