The run from Rippleside
Melbourne Airport is a little over 85 kilometres from Rippleside, and the drive takes about 1h 06m when the road is clear.
There is no toll between Rippleside and the airport. That keeps the fare at $205 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.
A 6am departure means a pickup near 2:39am 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.
On the way back to Rippleside the pickup follows your arrival time, not your scheduled one. Send us the flight number and we do the rest. 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.
