The run from Waterways
It is a 67 kilometre run from Waterways to Tullamarine, 52 min of driving in ordinary traffic. Most of it is on the M1 and M2.
Tolls on this route come to about $12 and are built into the fare, so the $175 you see when you book is the $175 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.
On the way back to Waterways the pickup follows your arrival time, not your scheduled one. Send us the flight number and we do the rest.
