Between Cottesloe and RAC Arena the busiest windows are the weekday commute peaks; your driver builds the right buffer into the booked pickup time so arrival timing is never left to chance.
Door-to-door collection from any Cottesloe address at the exact time you book.
The 11 km journey in a late-model, air-conditioned vehicle — no stops, no ride-sharing, no meter running.
Delivered to the door at RAC Arena — the exact address or entrance you gave at booking.
Coming in from Cottesloe, the run to Perth Airport uses Great Eastern Highway and the Graham Farmer Freeway tunnel. This is the shortest corridor on the network and the one most exposed to city traffic: the Graham Farmer tunnel and the Causeway approaches are where a metered fare would climb. On a fixed fare the traffic is the driver’s problem, not yours.
11 km is the road distance actually driven between Cottesloe and RAC Arena, not a straight line on a map, and the 20 min estimate is measured over that road. Both numbers set the fixed fare, so a longer way round in traffic costs you nothing and gives the driver no reason to take one.
