- Pickup in Kinglake West Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- Whittlesea-Yea Road (C725) The first leg out of Kinglake West.

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.
Kinglake West to Melbourne Airport, Start to Finish
Expect 53 minutes or so from Kinglake West, and up to 80 if you are travelling through peak. It is 58 km door to terminal.
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, 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 Kinglake West Price
The fare box above shows how the Kinglake West price is built: flag fall, the distance and any toll, added up and rounded to the typical total. Nothing about it is a zone rate. 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 Kinglake West is typically $145 (estimate $137 – $167): 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 $145 (estimate $137 – $167). 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.
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.
Kinglake West and the Road Down to Whittlesea
Kinglake West is in the Murrindindi Shire, up in the ranges north east of Melbourne. The driver comes down Whittlesea-Kinglake Road and Whittlesea-Yea Road into Whittlesea, follows Plenty Road south and joins the Western Ring Road for the last stretch. There are no toll roads on the way.
The Kinglake West Reserve on Whittlesea-Kinglake Road and the Pheasant Creek general store are both clear meeting points, which helps on dark mountain roads. Allow extra time when fog sits on the ranges.
Down the hill, Whittlesea 3757, Doreen 3754, Mernda 3754 and Yarra Glen 3775 have their own fare pages.
