The run from Houston
From Houston the terminal is about 39 kilometres south east, which is roughly 35 min behind the wheel once you are moving.
Tolls on this route come to about $6 and are built into the fare, so the $105 you see when you book is the $105 you pay. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
For a 6am flight the pickup lands around 3:10am, 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 Houston 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.

Getting to the airport from Houston
How much is a taxi from Houston to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan is $105. It is about 38 km and takes around 35 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 Houston to Melbourne Airport?
About 35 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 Houston 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 Houston?
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.
