The run from Watsonia North
Melbourne Airport is a little over 28 kilometres from Watsonia North, and the drive takes about 28 min when the road is clear.
Tolls on this route come to about $6 and are built into the fare, so the $80 you see when you book is the $80 you pay. You pay the driver at the end, with no deposit and nothing taken when you book.
Being this near the airport has one real advantage: a dawn departure does not cost you the night before it. For a 6am flight out of Watsonia North we would be at your door around 3:17am, which still leaves a reasonable sleep.
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. 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.
