The run from Northcote
Northcote sits south east of Melbourne Airport. Allow about 25 min for the drive and 23 kilometres on the odometer.
The trip crosses a tolled section, roughly $6 worth. That is already inside the $70 you are quoted rather than appearing afterwards as a surprise line. 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 Northcote we would be at your door around 3:20am, 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.

Getting to the airport from Northcote
How much is a taxi from Northcote to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan is $70. It is about 23 km and takes around 25 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 Northcote to Melbourne Airport?
About 25 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 Northcote 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 Northcote?
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.
