Booking a Cab in Truganina
Most bookings out of Truganina fall into two groups: the run into the city, about 21.2 km, and the run to Tullamarine, about 26.5 km. Neither is a guess. Both are measured on the real road distance and estimated on the meter rates.
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.
Truganina is one of the newer growth suburbs in the west, with family estates on one side and big logistics warehouses along Dohertys Road on the other. We pick up from both, including shift workers going to and from the distribution centres. Williams Landing and Tarneit stations are the nearest trains for most of the suburb.
We cover Truganina as part of the western 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 Truganina to Melbourne Airport?
A sedan works out around $57 to $71 for the roughly 26.5 km run, and a maxi seating eleven around $74 to $91. 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 Truganina to the airport?
Around 31 minutes in ordinary traffic, going up the Deer Park Bypass and around the Western Ring Road. 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 3.5 hours before departure is the safe call from Truganina.
Can I book a maxi taxi in Truganina?
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 Truganina?
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 Truganina that puts an airport run at roughly $68 to $83.
Do you pick up from Truganina 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 Truganina pickup.
