What the Trip Looks Like
About 52 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 78 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Lara Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- M80 Ring Road The first leg out of Lara.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at the departures door for your airline, so there is no walk between terminals.
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 78 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:40am.
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.
Getting from Lara to Melbourne Airport
Expect 52 minutes or so from Lara, and up to 78 if you are travelling through peak. It is 70.8 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 70.8 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, 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 Lara Price
Every part of the Lara fare is in the fare box above, from the flag fall to the toll, so you can check the sum yourself. 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 $172 (estimate $163 – $198). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from Lara carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $163 – $198. 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
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.
