In peak hour the same trip can stretch closer to 71 minutes. That changes when you should leave. It does not change what you pay.
When to leave Cheltenham
For a domestic flight, allow three hours between leaving Cheltenham and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 47 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.

The usual way from Cheltenham is Nepean Hwy/State Route 3 and Citylink/M2. There is roughly $11.50 of tolls on that route, included in your quoted price before you book. On a run of 43.2 km the alternative free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.
The trip in the other direction
Back to Cheltenham is the same 43.2 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.

If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find the rank, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.
