Why book Melbourne airport taxi with us

Getting to or from Tullamarine is stressful enough. Late arrivals, luggage trolleys, confusing pickup zones. You don’t need surge pricing on top of that.

Melbourne Top Taxi has been running airport transfers since 2007. That’s 18 years of early mornings, delayed flights, and knowing exactly where to park at T2. Our drivers track your flight in real time, so if you land 40 minutes late, your car is still there.

Every transfer comes with a fixed fare quoted before you book. You pay what we agree, regardless of traffic.

Airport transfers to Tullamarine and Avalon

Melbourne Airport — Tullamarine (MEL)

Tullamarine is Melbourne's main international and domestic airport, roughly 23 kilometres from the CBD. We cover every suburb to Tullamarine, every day of the year. Most runs from the northern suburbs (Glenroy, Coburg, Essendon) take 15 to 25 minutes in normal traffic. See our Melbourne airport taxi page for suburb-specific detail.

Avalon Airport (AVV)

Avalon sits in Lara, about 55 kilometres south-west of Melbourne CBD. It handles Jetstar domestic routes and some international charter flights. The transfer from CBD takes around 50 to 60 minutes. We cover Avalon too — WhatsApp us your pickup suburb for a fixed fare quote.

👥

Running to both airports for a group? The Maxi Van handles up to 10 passengers with full luggage — cheaper per person than splitting into two cars.
