Booking a Cab in Wantirna
From Wantirna we go across the Eastern Freeway and around on the Ring Road, or through the tunnels when traffic allows. Allow about 47 minutes for the airport and closer to 35 for the city centre.
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 Wantirna 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.

How much is a taxi from Wantirna to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan works out around $111 to $136 for the roughly 49.6 km run, and a maxi seating eleven around $128 to $156. 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 Wantirna to the airport?
Around 47 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 Wantirna.
Can I book a maxi taxi in Wantirna?
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 Wantirna?
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 Wantirna that puts an airport run at roughly $122 to $149.
Do you pick up from Wantirna 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 Wantirna pickup.
