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 Lara you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 72 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:45am.
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.

Expect 48 minutes or so from Lara, and up to 72 if you are travelling through peak. It is 66.4 km door to terminal.
Drivers take M80 Ring Road for this run, and there is no toll on that route. It is worth knowing, because a 66.4 km airport trip from this side of Melbourne often comes in lower than people expect for exactly that reason.
We also cover Bell Post Hill 3215, Little River 3211 and Geelong 3220 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 Lara 3212, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Lara is typically $145 by day, $160 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $178 on a Friday or Saturday night after 10pm or a public holiday.

Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at $154 – $188. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Lara is $154 – $188. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.
The Trip in the Other Direction
Arriving rather than departing, the Lara run is priced the same with the $5.26 airport pickup fee on top. We watch the flight, so if you are held up in the air or at the carousel your driver is still there.
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, where your driver waits inside with a sign and helps with the bags, is $35 and includes up to an hour of waiting time.
