The run from Sassafras
Sassafras sits south east of Melbourne Airport. Allow about 52 min for the drive and 64 kilometres on the odometer.
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 $170 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 2:53am 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 Sassafras 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.
