The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 50 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 75 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Ringwood Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • EastLink (M3) The first leg out of Ringwood.
  • Reynolds Road The main run in, covering most of the 49.3 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 50 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 Ringwood you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 75 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.

Your Airport Run from Ringwood

Ringwood to the terminal is 49.3 km of driving, normally about 50 minutes and nearer 75 in peak hour.

Drivers take EastLink (M3), Springvale Road and Reynolds Road for this run, and there is no toll on that route. It is worth knowing, because a 49.3 km airport trip from this side of Melbourne often comes in lower than people expect for exactly that reason.

If your pickup is closer to Mitcham 3132, Wantirna 3152 and Vermont 3133, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.

We cover all of Ringwood 3134, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

What Makes Up the Ringwood Price

Broken down, a Ringwood airport trip by day is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (49.3 km at $2.10 per km) $103.53. Typically $109 all up, within an estimate of $103 – $126 that allows for your pickup point and the route taken.

Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Ringwood is typically $109 by day, $121 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $134 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.

The SUV from Ringwood is $120 – $147, which is the standard taxi fare plus the $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. The maxi is $120 – $147 for up to eleven passengers. 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

Back to Ringwood is the same 49.3 km journey. The only addition is the $5.26 airport pickup fee, which is the airport's charge rather than ours. Add your flight number when you book and your driver works to the real landing 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.

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.
