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 Diggers Rest you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 29 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:30am.
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.
Diggers Rest to Melbourne Airport, Start to Finish
From Diggers Rest, Melbourne Airport is 25.4 km away. Budget 19 minutes off peak and up to 29 when the freeways are busy.
The route from Diggers Rest follows Calder Freeway (M79). 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.
If your pickup is closer to Sunbury 3429, Plumpton 3335 and Fraser Rise 3336, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Diggers Rest 3427, 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.
Where the Number Comes from
The fare box above shows how the Diggers Rest price is built: flag fall, the distance and any toll, added up and rounded to the typical total. Nothing about it is a zone rate. 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.
The SUV from Diggers Rest is typically $77, within an estimate of $73 – $89, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It still seats four, and the gain is luggage: 4 large and 3 small bags. The maxi seats up to eleven and carries the same surcharge, which is why it is the same $73 – $89. 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.
Airport to Diggers Rest
The return runs the same 25.4 km and the same estimated fare, with one difference: a $5.26 airport pickup fee set by the airport itself, which every operator charges. Give us your flight number and we watch the arrival time, so a delay moves your pickup rather than costing you waiting time.
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 is optional and costs $35. Worth it on a long haul arrival, less so if you travel light and know the terminal.
