The run from Mernda
Melbourne Airport is a little over 33 kilometres from Mernda, and the drive takes about 31 min when the road is clear. Most of it is on the National Highway M80.
Tolls on this route come to about $6 and are built into the fare, so the $90 you see when you book is the $90 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 3:14am, 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 Mernda the pickup follows your arrival time, not your scheduled one. Send us the flight number and we do the rest.
Getting to the airport from Mernda
How much is a taxi from Mernda to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan is $90. It is about 32 km and takes around 31 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 Mernda to Melbourne Airport?
About 31 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 Mernda 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 Mernda?
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.
