The run from North Melbourne
It is a 22 kilometre run from North Melbourne to Tullamarine, 24 min of driving in ordinary traffic.
Tolls on this route come to about $6 and are built into the fare, so the $65 you see when you book is the $65 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 North Melbourne we would be at your door around 3:21am, which still leaves a reasonable sleep.
For the return to North Melbourne we watch the flight rather than the clock. If you land late, the car lands late with you, and there is no waiting charge for a delay you did not cause. 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.

About 24 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 North Melbourne 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.
