What the Trip Looks Like
About 33 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 50 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Elwood Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- Marine Parade The first leg out of Elwood.
- CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare estimate.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 33 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 Elwood you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 50 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6:10am.
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.
Your Airport Run from Elwood
From Elwood, Melbourne Airport is 31.9 km away. Budget 33 minutes off peak and up to 50 when the freeways are busy.
The 31.9 km route from Elwood uses Marine Parade and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway, with about $11.63 of tolls along the way. Both the distance and the toll are in the estimate before you confirm the booking.
We also cover St Kilda 3182, Elsternwick 3185 and St Kilda East 3183 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 Elwood 3184, 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 Elwood 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 Elwood is typically $102 (estimate $96 – $118): 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 $102 (estimate $96 – $118). 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 Elwood
Back to Elwood is the same 31.9 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.
If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find your driver outside, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.
