If you’re booking an airport transfer from Clyde, Cranbourne, Berwick or anywhere else in Melbourne’s South-East, the first question is almost always the same: how much is this going to cost me?
Why a metered fare is hard to predict
A standard metered taxi charges by distance and time, which means your fare can change depending on traffic on EastLink and CityLink, the time of day, and even which route your driver takes. For a fixed trip like an airport run, that unpredictability makes it hard to budget — especially for an early morning flight when you want one less thing to think about.
How a fixed-fare airport transfer works
At South East Taxi Melbourne, airport transfers from Clyde and the surrounding suburbs are quoted as a fixed price before you travel. That quote includes the driver, travel time and all EastLink and CityLink tolls — there is nothing extra to pay on arrival, even if traffic is heavier than expected.
Fixed pricing generally depends on:
- Your exact pickup suburb (Clyde, Clyde North, Cranbourne and nearby postcodes are all close to Melbourne Airport via EastLink)
- Which airport you’re travelling to — Melbourne (Tullamarine) or Avalon
- The vehicle type you choose, from a standard sedan up to a maxi van for larger groups
