What the Trip Looks Like
About 49 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 74 minutes in peak hour.
- Pickup in Lysterfield Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
- Wellington Road (C413) The first leg out of Lysterfield.
- CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare estimate.
- Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 49 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 Lysterfield you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 74 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.
Getting from Lysterfield to Melbourne Airport
Lysterfield is 60.2 km away, which puts it among the longer transfers we run. Around 49 minutes normally, up to 74 at the wrong time of day.
The usual way from Lysterfield is Wellington Road (C413) and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. There is roughly $13.32 of tolls on that route, included in the estimate you see before you book. On a run of 60.2 km the free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.
If your pickup is closer to Ferntree Gully 3156, Rowville 3178 and Scoresby 3179, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Lysterfield 3156, 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.
How the Lysterfield Fare Is Worked Out
The fare box above shows how the Lysterfield 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.
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at a typical $163 (estimate $154 – $188). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from Lysterfield carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $154 – $188. 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
Landing at Tullamarine and heading for Lysterfield works the same way in reverse. Same distance, same rate, plus the $5.26 pickup fee the airport levies on every trip that starts there. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.
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.
Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting inside the arrivals hall with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.
