Getting around Dandenong

The train to the city is good. There is no train to the airport.

Dandenong station serves the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines and V/Line trains on the Gippsland line. It is the gateway to West Gippsland. The trip to Flinders Street takes about 50 minutes on a train that stops at every station. Express trains are faster.

Since late 2025, Pakenham and Cranbourne line trains also run through the new Metro Tunnel. That gives Dandenong direct trains to the new Town Hall, State Library, Parkville, Anzac and Arden stations.

For the city, take the train. For the airport, read on.

Melbourne Airport to Dandenong

We meet your flight and drive you home. One car, one fare.

Dandenong is 29 km south-east of the CBD. Melbourne Airport is at Tullamarine, north-west of the city. The trip crosses the whole of Melbourne, so the good train lines in Dandenong do not help with it.

Arrivals: Melbourne Airport to Dandenong

  • There is no train to Melbourne Airport. The 901 SmartBus goes from the airport to Dandenong station, but it takes a long route through Broadmeadows, Greensborough and Ringwood. A private airport shuttle also runs to Dandenong, with its own tickets. Or you take the SkyBus into the city and then a train out to Dandenong — two legs and a change, with all your bags.
  • We meet the flight and drive you home. One car, one fare, agreed before you travel.
  • We track the flight. If the flight is late, your booking stays in place.
  • Meeting family from overseas? Book a maxi. Four or five people with long-haul luggage do not fit in a sedan. Do not split them across two cars at midnight.

Departures: Dandenong to Melbourne Airport

  • We time the pickup from your flight, not from a timetable. The drive across the city is built in.
  • The first train will not get you to an early morning flight. A booked car will.

Dandenong Hospital

We book your trip home before you go in.

Dandenong Hospital, 135 David Street, Dandenong 3175, is part of Monash Health. It has intensive care and cardiac care units, general surgery and orthopaedics, an emergency operating theatre open 24 hours, thoracic surgery and neurosurgery, inpatient psychiatric services, maternity with labour wards and a special care nursery, and 24-hour pathology and radiology.

  • Trips to appointments every day. We book your return trip before you go in.
  • MPTP accepted — members get 50% off the total fare, up to $60 per trip.
  • Maternity and special care nursery visits often mean many trips at odd hours. Call us and book each one ahead.
  • We also go to Monash Medical Centre Clayton, Casey Hospital and the city hospitals from Dandenong.
Maxi taxi Dandenong

Arriving with family and luggage? Book a maxi.

Our maxi vehicles seat up to 10 people with room for luggage. One fixed fare for the car, not a price for each seat. Use a maxi for a large family, an airport arrival with full luggage, a hospital visit with several relatives, or a weekend trip with a group. See all maxi taxi options.

Business travel on Cabcharge

Dandenong South is one of the largest industrial and manufacturing areas in Victoria. Staff travel, shift transport and client pickups are real local work. Cabcharge is accepted on every trip, with card and cash.

Regional trips

Dandenong is on the road to Gippsland. We go to Phillip Island, the Mornington Peninsula, Warragul, Traralgon and West Gippsland at a fixed fare. It is easier than V/Line with luggage or a group. More on regional Victoria trips.
