The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 36 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 54 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Doreen Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Plenty Road (C727) The first leg out of Doreen.
  • M80 Ring Road The main run in, covering most of the 36.2 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 36 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 Doreen you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 54 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:05am.

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 Doreen Involves

Doreen to the terminal is 36.2 km of driving, normally about 36 minutes and nearer 54 in peak hour.

Drivers use Plenty Road (C727) and M80 Ring Road, a toll free route the whole way. Nothing is added to the 36.2 km fare for road charges.

Nearby areas including Mernda 3754, South Morang 3752 and Whittlesea 3757 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.

We cover all of Doreen 3754, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

How the Doreen Fare Is Worked Out

The Doreen estimate is not guesswork. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (36.2 km at $2.10 per km) $76.02, which totals $82. We show it as $77 – $95 because the exact street you are picked up from, and the route on the day, move the distance slightly.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Doreen is typically $82 by day, $91 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $101 on a Friday or Saturday night after 10pm or a public holiday. Your estimate uses the rate for the time you choose when you book. For a fixed price, call or email us and we will agree the fare before you travel.

Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at $95 – $115. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Doreen is $95 – $115. 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.

Coming Back to Doreen from the Airport

The return runs the same 36.2 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, where your driver waits inside with a sign and helps with the bags, is $35 and includes up to an hour of waiting time.
