What the Trip Looks Like
About 24 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 36 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Macleod Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- M80 Ring Road The first leg out of Macleod.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 24 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 Macleod you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 36 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:20am.
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.
Getting from Macleod to Melbourne Airport
Macleod to the terminal is 28.2 km of driving, normally about 24 minutes and nearer 36 in peak hour.
Drivers use M80 Ring Road, a toll free route the whole way. Nothing is added to the 28.2 km fare for road charges.
If your pickup is closer to Bundoora 3083, Greensborough 3088 and Templestowe Lower 3107, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Macleod 3085, 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.
How the Macleod Fare Is Worked Out
The fare box above shows how the Macleod 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.
An SUV from Macleod is typically $83 (estimate $78 – $96): 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 $83 (estimate $78 – $96). 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 Macleod
Back to Macleod is the same 28.2 km journey. The only addition is the $5.26 airport pickup fee, which is the airport's charge rather than ours. Add your flight number when you book and your driver works to the real landing 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.
Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting inside the arrivals hall with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.
