The run from Somerton
Count on 17 min and around 12 kilometres between Somerton and the Tullamarine terminal.
You will pass through a toll on the way in. We have costed it at about $6 and included it, which is why the quoted $40 does not move on the day. 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 Somerton we would be at your door around 3:28am, which still leaves a reasonable sleep.
On the way back to Somerton the pickup follows your arrival time, not your scheduled one. Send us the flight number and we do the rest. 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 Somerton
How much is a taxi from Somerton to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan is $40. It is about 11 km and takes around 17 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 Somerton to Melbourne Airport?
About 17 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 Somerton 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 Somerton?
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.
