Coming Back to Waurn Ponds from the Airport

Flying into Melbourne and heading to Waurn Ponds costs the same as the trip out, plus the $5.26 airport pickup fee the airport charges on every trip that starts there. We track your flight at no extra cost, so you are collected when you actually land.

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.

If someone is being collected who would rather not navigate the terminal alone, meet and greet at $35 puts the driver inside with them.

Burwood to Airport return I always have excellent service from Prahb and Sherry’s team. They are friendly and reliable service, especially early morning trips. I don't have to worry about services cancelling like some ride sharing services. The cars they use are always impeccable clean and the ride is comfortable. I highly recommend them if you are a corporate traveller like me, who travel in some ungodly hours and don't want the hassle.
