Booking a Tullamarine taxi: what to know
Melbourne Airport has four terminals: T1 (Qantas), T2 (international), T3 (Virgin) and T4 (Jetstar and low-cost carriers). Tell us the terminal when you book — the drop-off roads split before the forecourt and doubling back adds time.
Because the airport is so close, a Tullamarine pickup is one of the few airport runs where the flag fall and the short distance make up most of the fare. Run your pickup time through the fare calculator to see the applicable tariff.
Melbourne Airport applies a departure fee to taxi trips originating at the terminals, which is passed through on the fare for pickups from the rank or forecourt.
For a very early departure, book the night before. Dispatch runs 24 hours, but a pre-allocated driver at 3am is far more reliable than a request made at 3am.
