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 3134.
  • Reynolds Rd/State Route 52 The main run in, covering most of the 49.3 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 50 minutes after pickup.

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Ringwood, allow an extra hour on top of the drive time for check in and security. We run 24 hours, so a 3am pickup costs exactly the same as a 3pm one.

Your airport run from Ringwood

Ringwood to the terminal is 49.3 km of driving, normally about 50 minutes. The price is estimated at $103 – $126 before you travel.

Traffic can push this out to about 75 minutes at the wrong time of day, which is worth planning around even though it will not affect your fare.

When to leave Ringwood

Most passengers leaving Ringwood give themselves three hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 50 minutes of that.

Early starts are routine here. Your pickup time sets the rate, day, evening or weekend night, and the fare is fixed the moment you book.

Groups and larger vehicles

There is no premium for the SUV: it is the same $103 – $126 as a standard taxi from Ringwood. Only the maxi differs, at $120 – $147 for up to eleven passengers.

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.

The route, and what it costs to use it

Drivers take Eastlink/M3, Springvale Rd/State Route 40 and Reynolds Rd/State Route 52 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.

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.

What makes up the Ringwood price

Broken down, a Ringwood airport trip is day rate flag fall $5.40 and distance (49.3 km at $2.10 per km) $103.53. $109 all up. The $103 – $126 you see quoted is that number with a small allowance either side.

Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting airside of the exit with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.

I've had the pleasure of using Deepak's airport transportation services multiple times, and I'm consistently impressed with the reliability and efficiency he provides. Whether it's a late-night pickup or an early-morning drop-off, Deepak always answers promptly and ensures that I'm well taken care of. The cars are always immaculate, and the drivers are courteous, safe, and helpful with my luggage. Deepak is punctual and respectful, and his prices are very reasonable considering the high level of service he provides. What sets Deepak apart is his attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. He always arrives slightly early, and his drivers are friendly and accommodating. I appreciate the flexibility he offers, whether it's driving me himself or arranging for a colleague to take care of the trip. I highly recommend Deepak's services to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and courteous airport transportation in Melbourne. His professionalism and dedication to his customers are truly exceptional
