Route Intelligence
Mitchell Freeway vs West Coast Highway for Hillarys.
Mitchell Freeway Route (Primary)
Mitchell Freeway south from Hillarys Drive onramp to Reid Highway interchange, then east on Reid Highway directly to Perth Airport. This is the fastest route off-peak at 25–28 minutes and is used by default for all pre-dawn and evening transfers.
Best for: Pre-dawn (12AM–5AM), Off-peak (9AM–3PM), Evening (7PM–12AM)
Bottleneck: Karrinyup Road interchange southbound during morning and afternoon peak
Off-peak time: 25–28 minutes to T1 drop-off
West Coast Highway Alternate
During peak-hour congestion on the Mitchell Freeway, drivers can route south via West Coast Highway through Trigg and Scarborough, joining the freeway south of the Karrinyup interchange. This bypasses the most congested section but adds 3–5km to the journey.
Best for: Morning peak (5–9AM) when freeway is heavily queued past Karrinyup
Peak time: 35–42 minutes via this route during morning peak
Your driver makes the route decision in real time based on live traffic data. There is no additional charge for an alternate route — your fare is fixed at booking regardless of the path taken. If you have a hard cutoff for check-in, tell the dispatcher at booking and the driver will be briefed to prioritise time over distance.
