- 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.

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
Expect 70 minutes or so from Mount Dandenong, and up to 105 if you are travelling through peak. It is 66.1 km door to terminal.
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, from homes and workplaces to schools, shops and any other address in the area. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
What Makes Up the Mount Dandenong Price
Every part of the Mount Dandenong fare is in the fare box above, from the flag fall to the toll, so you can check the sum yourself. The typical total is the sum above rounded up to the next whole dollar, and the estimate runs from 5% under it to 15% over it, the same rule for every vehicle. A different pickup street, a detour or roadworks on the day, waiting time and extras such as a baby seat are what move a fare inside that estimate.
Your pickup time sets the rate, as the table by pickup time above shows, and your estimate uses the rate for the time you choose when you book. For a fixed price, call or email us and we will confirm it before your trip. No surge, no meter, no surprises.
An SUV from Mount Dandenong is typically $163 (estimate $154 – $188): the standard fare plus a $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It seats four, like a sedan, with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For five or more passengers take the maxi, which seats up to eleven and carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is also typically $163 (estimate $154 – $188). Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, per trip, 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.
Coming Down From Mount Dandenong
Mount Dandenong is in the Shire of Yarra Ranges, high on the ridge of the Dandenongs. The usual route winds down Mount Dandenong Tourist Road to Montrose, then heads north through Croydon on Yarra Road and across to the Western Ring Road. The first few kilometres are slow, narrow mountain road, so allow extra time.
SkyHigh Mount Dandenong on Observatory Road and the William Ricketts Sanctuary on Mount Dandenong Tourist Road are both well known spots and make easy pickup points for visitors.
Elsewhere in the hills, Olinda 3788, Montrose 3765, Kilsyth South 3137 and The Patch 3792 have their own pages.
