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 Burwood East you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 65 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:55am.
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 Burwood East Involves
At 50.2 km, Burwood East is a longer airport run: roughly 43 minutes on a clear road, closer to 65 in peak hour.
Your driver will use Blackburn Road and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. That adds roughly $13.32 in tolls, which sits inside the estimated fare. We do not hand you a separate toll charge at the end of the trip.
We also cover Glen Waverley 3150, Mount Waverley 3149 and Vermont 3133 on the same pricing basis, so if you are picking up passengers on the way it is worth checking those pages too.
We cover all of Burwood East 3151, 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
There is no zone rate behind the Burwood East price. The fare box above lists each part of it, flag fall, distance and toll. 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 Burwood East is typically $142 (estimate $134 – $164): 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 $142 (estimate $134 – $164). 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 Burwood East
Landing at Tullamarine and heading for Burwood East works the same way in reverse. Same distance, same rate, plus the $5.26 pickup fee the airport levies on every trip that starts there. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.
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.
