DRIVE-THRU — WHAT TO KNOW
The drive-thru menu is the same as the in-store menu — but not every item is sold at every drive-thru, and breakfast items are only sold during breakfast hours. If the item you want is not on the drive-thru board, it may still be on the in-store menu.
Order from the car at drive-thru stores. The speaker box takes the order, the window takes the payment, and the next window hands over the food. It is the same food, at the same pickup prices, as the counter inside.
DRIVE-THRU — HOW TO USE IT
Ordering in the app before you arrive is usually faster than the speaker box at peak times. Place the order, pay in the app, and use the pickup lane — the food is ready when you arrive, and you skip the queue at the speaker.
Check the bag at the window before you drive off. A missing item spotted at the window is fixed in a minute; the same item spotted at home means a trip back or a call. Drive-thru orders are worth the same check as counter orders.
DRIVE-THRU — MISTAKES TO AVOID
Do not order a big group order at the speaker box at peak time. A large order slows the queue for everyone behind you — order it in the app instead, or go inside, where the counter can take a big order without holding up the lane.
Prices at the drive-thru are pickup prices — the same as in store. Delivery prices are higher, and the drive-thru is not delivery: you collect the food yourself, at the pickup price, without a delivery fee.
DRIVE-THRU — BEFORE YOU ORDER
Before you go, check whether the store has a drive-thru and whether it is open. Not every McDonald's store has a drive-thru, and drive-thru hours can differ from the store's counter hours — so check the app for the store you are going to, not the chain's standard hours.
If you are ordering for a group, order in the app before you arrive. A big order at the speaker box at peak time slows the queue for everyone behind you — the app takes the same order at the same pickup price, and the food is ready when you arrive.
Check the bag at the window before you drive off. A missing item spotted at the window is fixed in a minute; the same item spotted at home means a trip back or a call. Drive-thru orders are worth the same check as counter orders — and breakfast items are only sold during breakfast hours.
McDonald's lists 290 items across 16 categories, from the Aioli Sauce at $0.75 to the Macca's Bundle for 6 at ≈ $96.60. The drive-thru board shows the same range — but a board can only show so much, so the full menu is in the app if the item you want is not on the board.
If the drive-thru queue is long, going inside is often faster. The counter takes the same order at the same price, and a store with a long drive-thru queue usually has a short counter queue. The app shows whether the store is taking orders either way.
Breakfast at the drive-thru follows breakfast hours. An item that is sold at breakfast is not sold all day — and the drive-thru board changes over to the lunch menu when breakfast hours end, so an early order is the only way to get a breakfast item.
The McDonald's menu behind this guide runs to 290 items across 16 categories. The prices named here are pickup prices from that menu, and your store sets its own prices — so the app is the final check before you pay.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does McDonald's cost in 2026?
Prices on the McDonald's menu start at $0.75 for the Aioli Sauce in the drive thru range; the full McDonald’s menu runs across 290 items in 16 categories.
Can I get McDonald's delivered?
Yes — McDelivery through the MyMacca’s app (99c delivery fee; the only channel that earns and redeems MyMacca’s points), or Uber Eats and DoorDash. Menulog is gone from Australia — it ceased operations on 26 November 2025, so it is not on Menulog. Pickup prices here are lower than delivery prices.
Does McDonald's have a loyalty program?
With the drive thru range: MyMacca’s Rewards: 100 points per $1, redeemable from 2,500 points. Check the app for current point costs — with the drive thru range in mind. (Details are in the app.)
Do McDonald's prices vary by store?
Yes — franchise stores set their own prices, so the figures here are pickup prices from the chain’s official Australian ordering site. Franchise pricing means small local differences, and delivery prices are higher than pickup.
Is the McDonald's drive-thru menu the same as in store?
Yes, but not every item is sold at every drive-thru, and breakfast items are only sold during breakfast hours.
Can I order ahead for McDonald's drive-thru pickup?
Yes — order in the app before you arrive and use the pickup lane; it is usually faster than the speaker box at peak times.
What does ≈ mean?
A figure with ≈ in this guide is one the chain does not list — it is the closest figure we can give.
Prices on this page are pickup prices. Prices vary from store to store, and delivery runs higher. Where McDonald’s lists no price or kJ for a drive thru item, this page shows a figure marked ≈, and the note under the first table explains what ≈ means.
