The run from Diggers Rest
Melbourne Airport is a little over 25 kilometres from Diggers Rest, and the drive takes about 19 min when the road is clear. Most of it is on the Calder Fwy/M79.
There is no toll between Diggers Rest and the airport. That keeps the fare at $65 rather than the higher figure a tolled approach would add. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
Being this near the airport has one real advantage: a dawn departure does not cost you the night before it. For a 6am flight out of Diggers Rest we would be at your door around 3:26am, which still leaves a reasonable sleep.
Coming the other way we track the inbound flight and meet you when the aircraft actually lands, so a delay is the airline's problem rather than yours.
