Hi

We are arriving around midnight at Avalon airport and was after the approximate cost for 2 passengers with 2 bags to Flinders St.Train station. Thanks for your help.

Approx $50AUD....fares can vary from taxi to taxi as well.

But this explains charges...confusing as it is lol

Hi

$50 for cab ride from Avalon to Melb. how long ago was that? I would double that!

First up I'm a Melb cabbie - and no I'm not seeking business as I'm not allowed to pick up at Avalon as its in the Geelong zone area.

I did a trip from Southern Cross Station to Avalon about 6 weeks ago and the cost was $85. Since then the fares have risen by 4.2%. That makes it closer to $90 and that's for trips starting BEFORE midnight. After midnight there is an extra 20% late night surcharge which makes the fare about $108.

Skybus used to service Avalon but a quick check on their web site shows they have dropped that service. However a check of the Avalon Airport web site show that there is Sun Bus to Melb city - http://www.sunbusaustralia.com.au/about_avalon.shtml

Hi

Thank you all for kindly replying. We're looking forward to visiting your fabulous city again (thanks to cut price airfares!) :-)

My apologies.....did not read close enough to see Avalon.
