A private transfer from Perth CBD to Perth Airport costs from $63 fixed (sedan, 1–3 passengers) and takes about 18 min for the 12 km journey. The price includes GST, airport fees, tolls, flight tracking and meet & greet — booked with a fixed quote confirmed in writing, available 24/7.
From Perth CBD, Perth Airport is a 18 min drive (12 km). The run into the city follows the Graham Farmer Freeway through the Northbridge Tunnel, dropping you on the doorstep of the St Georges Terrace office towers and every major CBD hotel. Landmarks on and around this route include Elizabeth Quay, St Georges Terrace, Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Heading to the airport, your driver collects you at the door with departure buffer already planned — luggage help included, drop-off at the correct terminal forecourt (T1–T4). Fares are fixed at booking — from $63 for a private sedan, $101 for a people mover seating up to seven — with GST, airport fees and waiting time included. The price is the same at 4am as at 4pm; there is no surge and no meter.

Weekday peak (7–9am · 4–6pm)
allow ≈ 25 min
Heading to the airport, the pickup is planned backwards from your flight — the 18 min drive plus check-in buffer (about 90 minutes before domestic departures, three hours before international), so you reach the terminal with time to spare rather than cutting it fine in traffic.
Door-to-door collection from any Perth CBD address at the exact time you book.
The 12 km journey in a late-model, air-conditioned vehicle — no stops, no ride-sharing, no meter running.
Dropped at the correct terminal forecourt (T1–T4) with check-in buffer already planned into the pickup time.
Coming in from Perth CBD, the run to Perth Airport uses Great Eastern Highway and the Graham Farmer Freeway tunnel. This is the shortest corridor on the network and the one most exposed to city traffic: the Graham Farmer tunnel and the Causeway approaches are where a metered fare would climb. On a fixed fare the traffic is the driver’s problem, not yours.
12 km is the road distance actually driven between Perth CBD and Perth Airport, not a straight line on a map, and the 18 min estimate is measured over that road. Both numbers set the fixed fare, so a longer way round in traffic costs you nothing and gives the driver no reason to take one.

“Perth Airport taxi to Perth CBD”, “Perth CBD airport transfer”, “airport shuttle” and “chauffeur” all describe getting between the terminal and Perth CBD — but they are four different products at four different prices, and over 12 km the gap between them widens. Here is what each actually gets you on this route.
