The run from Lara
It is a 66 kilometre run from Lara to Tullamarine, 48 min of driving in ordinary traffic. Most of it is on the M1.
Nothing on this route is tolled, which is why $165 comes in below what the distance alone would suggest. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
A 6am departure means a pickup near 2:57am 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.
