Fares from Burwood
Worked out from the real road distance and the Safe Transport Victoria maximum metered rates, the same figures a Melbourne cab meter runs on. Traffic on the day moves the final number, so each one is shown as a range rather than a promise.
| Car | Seats | To Melbourne Airport | To the city centre |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | 4 | $98 to $120 | $39 to $48 |
| Silver Service | 4 | $109 to $133 | $49 to $60 |

The airport figure above includes the toll on the run from Burwood where one applies. A pickup that starts at the airport rank also carries the $5.26 airport fee, which is why the inbound leg is priced separately on the route page.
Booking a Cab in Burwood
From Burwood the city is roughly 22 minutes and the airport roughly 42. 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.

How much is a taxi from Burwood to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan works out around $98 to $120 for the roughly 40.6 km run, and a maxi seating eleven around $115 to $141. 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 Burwood to the airport?
Around 42 minutes in ordinary traffic, going across the Eastern Freeway and around on the Ring Road, or through the tunnels when traffic allows. 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 Burwood.
Can I book a maxi taxi in Burwood?
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 Burwood?
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 Burwood that puts an airport run at roughly $109 to $133.
Do you pick up from Burwood 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 Burwood pickup.
