The run from Emerald
Emerald sits south east of Melbourne Airport. Allow about 1h for the drive and 76 kilometres on the odometer.
Tolls on this route come to about $12 and are built into the fare, so the $200 you see when you book is the $200 you pay. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
A 6am departure means a pickup near 2:45am once you allow two hours at the terminal and the drive in. It is worth booking the night before so the car is allocated rather than dispatched at short notice.
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. The distance shown here is measured from the centre of the suburb, so your exact fare is confirmed against your pickup address when you book.
