Airport to Dandenong: fares, tolls and timing
Enter your real pickup date and time in the calculator to see the metered estimate and a fixed price side by side. The fixed price does not change if traffic is heavy.
The metered fare uses the Victorian tariff for your booking time — day, night or public holiday — plus the Melbourne Airport pickup fee and CityLink and EastLink tolls.
Weekday afternoons on EastLink and the Monash add real time to this run. For a flight out of Tullamarine, book the return leg early rather than tight.
Baby seats, extra luggage room and Cabcharge or MPTP payment are all available — call 0421 807 027 if you need something arranged in advance.
