The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 70 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 105 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Mount Dandenong Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Mount Dandenong Tourist Road (C415) The first leg out of Mount Dandenong.
  • Yarra Road The main run in, covering most of the 66.1 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 70 minutes after pickup.

Working Out Your Pickup Time

Start from your departure time, take off two hours for a domestic flight or three for an international one, then take off the drive. For a 9am domestic flight from Mount Dandenong you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 105 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:15am.

We run 24 hours. Pickups between 5pm and 9am use the evening and overnight rate shown in the table, so an early start costs a little more than a midday one.

What the Trip from Mount Dandenong Involves

The route from Mount Dandenong follows Mount Dandenong Tourist Road (C415), Cambridge Road and Yarra Road. There is no toll section on it, which is one reason this run prices better than trips of a similar length on the other side of the city.

We also cover Olinda 3788, Montrose 3765 and Kilsyth South 3137 on the same pricing basis, so if you are picking up passengers on the way it is worth checking those pages too.

We cover all of Mount Dandenong 3767, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

An SUV from Mount Dandenong is $154 – $188, the standard fare plus a $17.80 surcharge, and worth it if you are carrying extra bags or want more legroom. A maxi seating up to eleven is $154 – $188. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.

The Trip in the Other Direction

Arriving rather than departing, the Mount Dandenong run is priced the same with the $5.26 airport pickup fee on top. We watch the flight, so if you are held up in the air or at the carousel your driver is still there.

Your driver collects you from the terminal your flight lands at: Terminal 1 for Qantas domestic, Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 3 for Virgin Australia and Terminal 4 for Jetstar and other low cost domestic airlines. Turn your phone on once you are off the plane and your driver confirms the meeting point. Bags on a domestic flight usually take 20 to 30 minutes, and an international arrival through customs takes longer, so book for your landing time and let the flight tracking do the rest.

Meet and greet, where your driver waits inside with a sign and helps with the bags, is $35 and includes up to an hour of waiting time.

I use this service twice a month for airport transfers. The service is exemplary and I have no hesitation in recommending them. The drivers are always smart, professional and courteous. The cars are modern, clean and luxurious. Their communication is excellent. As soon as I land a text message always arrives to give me the details of my car and where it's waiting for me. This service takes the stress out my journey and I can rely on them to get me to the airport and home again without issue.
