Taxi Ringwood 3134, Silver Service Cabs and Airport Transfers
Out here the airport trip is the one worth pricing properly. From Ringwood it is about 46.7 km, which on the metered rate comes to roughly $110.76 in a sedan rather than a rounded up guess.
Fares from Ringwood
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 | $105 to $128 | $60 to $74 |
| Silver Service | 4 | $115 to $141 | $71 to $87 |
| SUV or Wagon | 4 | $122 to $148 | $77 to $95 |
| Maxi Cab | 11 | $122 to $148 | $77 to $95 |
The airport figure above includes the toll on the run from Ringwood 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 Ringwood
Ringwood is a longer job than most on our map, roughly 46.7 km to Tullamarine and 28.0 km into the city. Longer does not mean vaguer: both are priced off the real road distance before you commit.
On a trip this length the early morning airport runs are worth booking the night before. A car has to travel out to reach you, and a 4am pickup arranged at 3am is a much harder ask than one arranged the evening before.
We cover Ringwood as part of the eastern suburbs, 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.

Taxis in Ringwood, Answered
How much is a taxi from Ringwood to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan works out around $105 to $128 for the roughly 46.7 km run, and a maxi seating eleven around $122 to $148. 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 Ringwood to the airport?
Around 46 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 3.8 hours before departure is the safe call from Ringwood.
Can I book a maxi taxi in Ringwood?
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 Ringwood?
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 Ringwood that puts an airport run at roughly $115 to $141.
Do you pick up from Ringwood 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 Ringwood pickup.
