The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 39 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 59 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Whittlesea Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Plenty Road (C727) The first leg out of Whittlesea.
  • M80 Ring Road The main run in, covering most of the 42.2 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 39 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 Whittlesea you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 59 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 6am.

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.

Whittlesea to Melbourne Airport, Start to Finish

Whittlesea to the terminal is 42.2 km of driving, normally about 39 minutes and nearer 59 in peak hour.

You will travel on Plenty Road (C727) and M80 Ring Road. No tolls apply on this route, so the fare is distance and flag fall only.

If your pickup is closer to Doreen 3754, Mernda 3754 and Wollert 3750, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.

We cover all of Whittlesea 3757, 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 Whittlesea 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 Whittlesea is typically $112 (estimate $106 – $129): 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 $112 (estimate $106 – $129). 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.

Airport to Whittlesea

Back to Whittlesea is the same 42.2 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.

Meet and greet, where your driver waits inside with a sign and helps with the bags, is $35 and includes up to an hour of waiting time.
