The run from Meadow Heights
Meadow Heights sits east of Melbourne Airport. Allow about 15 min for the drive and 9 kilometres on the odometer.
Tolls on this route come to about $6 and are built into the fare, so the $35 you see when you book is the $35 you pay. 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 Meadow Heights we would be at your door around 3:30am, which still leaves a reasonable sleep.
Coming the other way we track the inbound flight and meet you when the aircraft actually lands, so a delay is the airline's problem rather than yours. 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.

How long does it take to get from Meadow Heights to Melbourne Airport?
About 15 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 Meadow Heights 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.
