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 Carrum Downs you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 83 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:35am.
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.
Carrum Downs to Melbourne Airport, Start to Finish
At 75 km, Carrum Downs is a longer airport run: roughly 55 minutes on a clear road, closer to 83 in peak hour.
This one runs via EastLink (M3), Monash Freeway (M1) and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. The $19.85 in tolls is a real cost we pass on at cost, not a rounded surcharge, and it is already counted in the estimate.
If your pickup is closer to Skye 3977, Frankston North 3200 and Patterson Lakes 3197, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Carrum Downs 3201, 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.
What Makes Up the Carrum Downs Price
There is no zone rate behind the Carrum Downs 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.
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at a typical $201 (estimate $190 – $232). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from Carrum Downs carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $190 – $232. 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.
The Trip in the Other Direction
For the inbound trip to Carrum Downs, add the airport's own $5.26 pickup fee to the fare above. Everything else is identical, including the 55 minute drive. Give us the flight number and we adjust to the actual 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.
