- Distance, 36.1 km at $2.10 per km $75.81
- Airport pickup fee $5.26

What the Point Cook Airport Run Looks Like
From Point Cook the driver heads up the Western Ring Road, which avoids the city entirely. The distance is about 36.1 km and the usual door to terminal time is around 39 minutes, which is a normal traffic figure rather than a best case one.
This is one of the longer airport runs we cover, so an early departure needs a car sent out to Point Cook well before your pickup time. Book the night before for anything leaving before 6am rather than calling on the morning.
For an international flight, allow about 3.7 hours between pickup in Point Cook and departure. For a domestic flight, two hours is usually comfortable.
Returning the other way, tell us the flight number when you book. A car meeting a delayed flight is only useful if it knows the flight is delayed.
