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 Kinglake West you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 80 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.

The route from Kinglake West follows Whittlesea-Yea Road (C725), Plenty Road (C727) and M80 Ring Road. There is no toll section on it, which is one reason this run prices better than trips of a similar length on the other side of the city.
We also cover Whittlesea 3757, Doreen 3754 and Mernda 3754 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 Kinglake West 3757, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
What Makes Up the Kinglake West Price
The Kinglake West estimate is not guesswork. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (58 km at $2.10 per km) $121.80, which totals $128. We show it as $121 – $148 because the exact street you are picked up from, and the route on the day, move the distance slightly.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Kinglake West is typically $128 by day, $141 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $156 on a Friday or Saturday night after 10pm or a public holiday. Your estimate uses the rate for the time you choose when you book. For a fixed price, call or email us and we will agree the fare before you travel.
An SUV from Kinglake West is $137 – $167, the standard fare plus a $17.80 surcharge, and worth it if you are carrying extra bags or want more legroom. A maxi seating up to eleven is $137 – $167. 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.
Coming Back to Kinglake West from the Airport
The return runs the same 58 km and the same estimated fare, with one difference: a $5.26 airport pickup fee set by the airport itself, which every operator charges. Give us your flight number and we watch the arrival time, so a delay moves your pickup rather than costing you waiting 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.
Meet and greet is optional and costs $35. Worth it on a long haul arrival, less so if you travel light and know the terminal.
