The run from Patterson Lakes
Patterson Lakes sits south east of Melbourne Airport. Allow about 51 min for the drive and 71 kilometres on the odometer. Most of it is on the M1 and M2.
You will pass through a toll on the way in. We have costed it at about $12 and included it, which is why the quoted $185 does not move on the day. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
A 6am departure means a pickup near 2:54am 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.
