Waterways to Melbourne Airport, start to finish
Expect 52 minutes or so from Waterways, and up to 78 if you are travelling through peak. It is 66.5 km, and the fare is estimated around $153 – $187.
Over this distance a metered fare becomes genuinely unpredictable, because every slow patch adds to it. This is where an upfront price is worth the most.
When to leave Waterways
Most passengers leaving Waterways give themselves three and a half hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 52 minutes of that.
We run 24 hours, and a 3am pickup is everyday work. It uses the evening and overnight rate, which is in your quote before you book, so you can weigh an early flight against a later one with real numbers.
If you need more room
An SUV from Waterways is $170 – $206, the standard fare plus a $17.80 surcharge, and worth it if you are carrying extra bags or want more legroom. A maxi seating up to eleven is $170 – $206.
If your pickup is closer to Aspendale Gardens 3195, Braeside 3195 and Chelsea Heights 3196, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Waterways 3195, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
The road we take from Waterways
The 66.5 km route from Waterways uses Braeside-Dandenong Rd/Hutton Rd/State Rou, Eastlink/M3 and Monash Fwy/M1, with about $15.96 of tolls along the way. Both the distance and the toll are in the price before you confirm the booking.
The trip in the other direction
Back to Waterways is the same 66.5 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.
Where the number comes from
Broken down, a Waterways airport trip is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (66.5 km at $2.10 per km) $139.65 and toll $15.96. $162 all up. The $153 – $187 you see quoted is that number with a small allowance either side.
Meet and greet is optional and costs $35. Worth it on a long haul arrival, less so if you travel light and know the pickup area.
