The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 79 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 119 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Safety Beach Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Mornington Peninsula Freeway (M11) The first leg out of Safety Beach.
  • Monash Freeway (M1) The main run in, covering most of the 109 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at the departures door for your airline, so there is no walk between terminals.

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 Safety Beach you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 119 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5am.

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.

What the Trip from Safety Beach Involves

At 109 km, Safety Beach is well outside metropolitan Melbourne. We run it daily, around 79 minutes each way.

The 109 km route from Safety Beach uses Mornington Peninsula Freeway (M11), EastLink (M3) and Monash Freeway (M1), with about $19.85 of tolls along the way. Both the distance and the toll are in the estimate before you confirm the booking.

Nearby areas including Dromana 3936, Mount Martha 3934 and Mornington Peninsula are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.

We cover all of Safety Beach 3936, 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.

Where the Number Comes from

Every part of the Safety Beach fare is in the fare box above, from the flag fall to the toll, so you can check the sum yourself. 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 Safety Beach is typically $272 (estimate $258 – $313): 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 $272 (estimate $258 – $313). 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

The return runs the same 109 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.

For an arrival with luggage or children, meet and greet at $35 is usually worth it: your driver is inside the terminal rather than at the kerb.
