What this route costs
Dandenong is one of the longest metropolitan runs on this list and carries the highest toll of any route we publish. It is a working trip more often than a leisure one, and standing bookings for regular travellers are common.
The two directions are priced slightly differently. A trip starting at the airport carries the $5.26 airport pickup fee, which is set by the airport and charged by every operator. Heading to the airport, it does not apply.

Getting to the door in Dandenong
Dandenong covers a lot of ground, from the market and the station precinct out to the industrial estates in the south. The right address matters more here than the suburb name.
Arriving late at night?
We run 24 hours, so a midnight arrival into Dandenong is routine. Late pickups use the evening rate, or the weekend night rate on Friday and Saturday, shown in your fare estimate before you book. Add your flight number and we track it, however late it lands.
The highest toll of any route we publish
Dandenong carries more toll than the CBD, Southbank or Glen Waverley, because the route uses the tolled network almost end to end. On a metered fare that lands at the finish as a separate line. Here it is already inside the number you agreed, and it is the single biggest reason this trip surprises people who have not booked ahead.
A working route, and standing bookings
More of this traffic is work than holiday. Regular travellers on this corridor often set up a standing booking, the same pickup at the same time on the same days, so there is nothing to arrange each trip and no risk of a car not being available at five in the morning.
Dandenong covers a lot of ground
The market and the station precinct are one thing, the industrial estates to the south are another, and there is a real difference in both distance and time between them. Dandenong South in particular is a longer trip than Dandenong. Give us the street address rather than the suburb and the fare is worked out for the place you are going.
One of the longest metropolitan runs on this list
At 53.6 km and around 44 minutes clear, this is longer than most people expect for a trip that never leaves greater Melbourne. In peak it stretches considerably. The fare does not.
