Berwick and Narre Warren to Melbourne Airport Taxi: Times, Route and Fares
Berwick and Narre Warren sit roughly 65–70 km from Melbourne Airport. The drive crosses the city on the ring road, so the time swings widely depending on when you leave — anywhere from 55 minutes to well over 90.

The route
- Monash Freeway (M1) westbound, then EastLink or the M80 Western Ring Road, then the Tullamarine Freeway to the terminals.
- Tolls apply on EastLink and CityLink sections — these are passed on at cost, no markup.
- In the morning peak the ring road is usually more reliable than running through the city.
What it costs
Fares are on regulated Victorian metered rates: flag fall, a per-kilometre rate while moving above 21 km/h, and a per-minute rate in slow traffic, plus tolls and the airport pickup fee on return trips. Because the per-minute rate applies in congestion, leaving outside peak genuinely costs less. Use our booking form for a live estimate on your exact addresses.
