The run from Southbank
Count on 21 min and around 26 kilometres between Southbank and the Tullamarine terminal. Most of it is on the M2.
The trip crosses a tolled section, roughly $6 worth. That is already inside the $75 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 Southbank we would be at your door around 3:24am, which still leaves a reasonable sleep.
On the way back to Southbank the pickup follows your arrival time, not your scheduled one. Send us the flight number and we do the rest.

Getting to the airport from Southbank
How much is a taxi from Southbank to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan is $75. It is about 26 km and takes around 21 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 Southbank to Melbourne Airport?
About 21 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 Southbank 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 Southbank?
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.
