Booking a Cab in Caulfield
Sitting about 13.3 km out from the centre, Caulfield is far enough that the airport run and the city run are genuinely different trips. Both are measured and priced separately rather than averaged.
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 Caulfield to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan works out around $89 to $109 for the roughly 36.8 km run, and a maxi seating eleven around $106 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 Caulfield 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 Caulfield.
Can I book a maxi taxi in Caulfield?
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 Caulfield?
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 Caulfield that puts an airport run at roughly $100 to $122.
Do you pick up from Caulfield 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 Caulfield pickup.
