Booking a Cab in Brighton
From Brighton the city is roughly 18 minutes and the airport roughly 39. Those are ordinary traffic figures, not best case ones, so a 6am booking usually beats them and a Friday evening one usually does not.
If you are travelling as a group, the maxi seats eleven and costs $17.80 more than a sedan on the same trip, which is usually cheaper than sending two cars.
We cover Brighton as part of the bayside and the south, and the neighbouring suburbs listed below are all on the same run, so a job that starts in one and finishes in another is priced the same way.

How much is a taxi from Brighton to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan works out around $88 to $108 for the roughly 36.5 km run, and a maxi seating eleven around $105 to $129. Those estimates come from the metered rates applied to the real road distance, and they include the toll where the route carries one. The exact total depends on the traffic and the time of day.
How long does it take to get from Brighton to the airport?
Around 39 minutes in ordinary traffic, going through the tunnels on CityLink, or around the Ring Road when the city is busy. Add time in the weekday peaks, and for an international flight most airlines want you at the terminal three hours ahead, so a pickup about 3.7 hours before departure is the safe call from Brighton.
Can I book a maxi taxi in Brighton?
Yes. The maxi seats up to eleven people and takes 8 large bags, which is the one to book for a group heading to the airport together. It carries a $17.80 surcharge over a sedan on the same trip. Book it online or by phone and say how many bags are coming.
Is a silver service car available in Brighton?
Yes. Silver service is Melbourne's premium taxi tier, a better car with a suited driver, and it runs on the same metered rate with a $11.00 surcharge. From Brighton that puts an airport run at roughly $99 to $121.
Do you pick up from Brighton late at night?
Yes, bookings run around the clock. A late trip is priced on a different tariff: the evening and overnight rate applies from 5pm to 9am, and the higher weekend rate applies 10pm to 4am Friday and Saturday nights, and public holidays. Booking ahead matters more at those hours, particularly for a Brighton pickup.
