The run from Upwey
From Upwey the terminal is about 64 kilometres south east, which is roughly 52 min behind the wheel once you are moving.
Tolls on this route come to about $12 and are built into the fare, so the $170 you see when you book is the $170 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 2:53am 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.
For the return to Upwey we watch the flight rather than the clock. If you land late, the car lands late with you, and there is no waiting charge for a delay you did not cause. 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.
