How long does it take to get from Surrey Hills to the airport?
Around 43 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 Surrey Hills.

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 Surrey Hills?
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 Surrey Hills that puts an airport run at roughly $112 to $136.
Do you pick up from Surrey Hills 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 Surrey Hills pickup.
