Working Out Your Pickup Time
Start from your departure time, take off two hours for a domestic flight or three for an international one, then take off the drive. For a 9am domestic flight from Glen Waverley you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 63 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:55am.
We run 24 hours. Pickups between 5pm and 9am use the evening and overnight rate shown in the table, so an early start costs a little more than a midday one.
Glen Waverley to Melbourne Airport, Start to Finish
At 50.9 km, Glen Waverley is a longer airport run: roughly 42 minutes on a clear road, closer to 63 in peak hour.
Drivers take Springvale Road, Monash Freeway (M1) and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway for this run. That route carries a toll of about $13.32, and it is already inside the estimate rather than added at the end. We use the toll road because on a 50.9 km trip the time it saves is worth more than the charge, particularly for an early flight.
We also cover Burwood East 3151, Mount Waverley 3149 and Wheelers Hill 3150 on the same pricing basis, so if you are picking up passengers on the way it is worth checking those pages too.
We cover all of Glen Waverley 3150, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
Where the Number Comes from
For a standard taxi from Glen Waverley by day the price is built from day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (50.9 km at $2.10 per km) $106.89 and toll $13.32. That comes to $126, the typical fare. The estimate of $119 – $145 allows for your exact pickup street and the route your driver takes on the day. The typical total is the sum above rounded up to the next whole dollar, and the estimate runs from 5% under it to 15% over it, the same rule for every vehicle. A different pickup street, a detour or roadworks on the day, waiting time and extras such as a baby seat are what move a fare inside that estimate.
Your pickup time sets the rate. A standard taxi from Glen Waverley is typically $126 by day, $138 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $152 on a Friday or Saturday night after 10pm or a public holiday. Your estimate uses the rate for the time you choose when you book. For a fixed price, call or email us and we will agree the fare before you travel.
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at a typical $144 (estimate $136 – $166). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from Glen Waverley carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $136 – $166. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, per trip, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.
Coming Back to Glen Waverley from the Airport
Landing at Tullamarine and heading for Glen Waverley works the same way in reverse. Same distance, same rate, plus the $5.26 pickup fee the airport levies on every trip that starts there. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.
Your driver collects you from the terminal your flight lands at: Terminal 1 for Qantas domestic, Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 3 for Virgin Australia and Terminal 4 for Jetstar and other low cost domestic airlines. Turn your phone on once you are off the plane and your driver confirms the meeting point. Bags on a domestic flight usually take 20 to 30 minutes, and an international arrival through customs takes longer, so book for your landing time and let the flight tracking do the rest.
If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find your driver outside, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.
