What this route costs
This is the Yarra Valley run: wineries, the sanctuary, weddings and weekend accommodation. Groups are common on it, which is why the maxi comes up more on this route than on any other we publish.
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.

How the trip runs
The route runs via National Highway M80, Greensborough Bypass/State Route 46 and Diamond Creek Rd/State Route 46, covering 69.4 km in about 64 minutes when the road is clear.
In peak hour allow closer to 96 minutes. Once your price is locked in through the booking form, a slow run costs you time but not money.
There is no toll on this route at all, which is worth knowing on a trip of 69.4 km. Nothing is added to your fare for road charges.
- Pickup at the terminal Your driver meets you at the designated pickup area, or inside with a name sign if you add meet and greet.
- National Highway M80, Greensborough Bypass/State Route 46 and Diamond Creek Rd/State Route 46 The bulk of the 69.4 km, on whichever route is quickest at the time.
- Arrival in Healesville Door to door, about 64 minutes after leaving the terminal.
Getting to the door in Healesville
Cellar doors, lodges and wedding venues in the valley sit between the towns rather than in them, and several are down unsealed side roads. Give us the property name when you book and we price the exact address rather than the nearest township.
Arriving late at night?
We run 24 hours with no night rate, so a midnight arrival into Healesville costs the same as a midday one. Add your flight number and we track it, however late it lands.
The Yarra Valley run
Healesville is the far end of the Yarra Valley, and most of this traffic is wineries, the sanctuary, weddings and weekend accommodation. It is the route where groups come up most often, which is why the maxi matters more here than on any other corridor we publish.
Venues sit between the towns, not in them
Cellar doors, lodges and wedding venues in the valley are spread along the roads between Yarra Glen, Coldstream and Healesville rather than inside any of them, and a few sit down unsealed side roads. Give us the property name and we price the exact address. A fare quoted to the township can be a long way short of a fare to the property.
A long trip with no toll on it
At 69.4 km this is one of the longer runs on this list, and it carries no toll at all, because the route goes out through the northeast rather than across the tolled network. That is worth knowing if you have compared it against a shorter trip and wondered why the gap was smaller than expected.
Coming back for a flight out of the valley
The return leg is the one people underestimate. It is over an hour before traffic, and the roads through the valley are dark and unlit at night. For a morning flight we usually recommend leaving the valley earlier than the arithmetic suggests, and we hold the price whatever time that turns out to be.
Groups and wine tours
An eleven seat maxi keeps a group together for the same trip rather than splitting it across three cars that arrive at three different times. On a wedding weekend that is the difference between a schedule and a scramble.
