The run from Research
Research sits east of Melbourne Airport. Allow about 33 min for the drive and 36 kilometres on the odometer.
Tolls on this route come to about $6 and are built into the fare, so the $100 you see when you book is the $100 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 3:12am, 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.
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 Research
How much is a taxi from Research to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan is $100. It is about 35 km and takes around 33 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 Research to Melbourne Airport?
About 33 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 Research 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 Research?
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.
