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

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

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
