The run from Merricks
From Merricks the terminal is about 109 kilometres south, which is roughly 1h 22m behind the wheel once you are moving.
Tolls on this route come to about $12 and are built into the fare, so the $275 you see when you book is the $275 you pay. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
This is a long enough run that timing matters. For a 6am flight we would collect you around 2:23am. Book ahead: at that hour the car is committed to you overnight rather than found on the morning.
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 Merricks to Melbourne Airport?
About 1h 22m 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 Merricks 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, and on this route the seat is included at no extra charge because it is over 90 km. Capsule, forward facing seat or booster, fitted before we reach you. Tell us your child's age and rough weight when you book.
