Booking a Cab in Mulgrave
Mulgrave is a longer job than most on our map, roughly 50.6 km to Tullamarine and 27.0 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.
Mulgrave sits on the Monash Freeway, which makes it one of the easier suburbs in the south east to get in and out of. Regular starting points include Waverley Gardens Shopping Centre, Valley Private Hospital and the business parks near the freeway, as well as home pickups right across the suburb.
We cover Mulgrave as part of the southeast 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 Mulgrave to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan works out around $118 to $144 for the roughly 50.6 km run, and a maxi seating eleven around $135 to $165. 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 Mulgrave to the airport?
Around 48 minutes in ordinary traffic, going up the Monash Freeway from Springvale Road and through CityLink. 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 Mulgrave.
Can I book a maxi taxi in Mulgrave?
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 Mulgrave?
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 Mulgrave that puts an airport run at roughly $129 to $157.
Do you pick up from Mulgrave 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 Mulgrave pickup.
