The journey

What the trip looks like

About 42 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 63 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Glen Waverley Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Springvale Rd/State Route 40 The first leg out of Glen Waverley 3150.

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Glen Waverley, allow an extra thirty minutes on top of the drive time for check in and security. We run 24 hours, so a 3am pickup costs exactly the same as a 3pm 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. The estimated fare is around $131 – $159, tolls included.

Longer trips are exactly where meters and surge pricing do the most damage. Agreeing the number first removes that entirely.

How early to book your Glen Waverley pickup

Most passengers leaving Glen Waverley give themselves three and a half hours for a domestic flight. International needs another hour on top. The drive accounts for 42 minutes of that.

We run 24 hours and there is no night rate. A 3am pickup costs the same as a 3pm one, which is worth knowing when you are weighing an early flight against a convenient one.

If you need more room

Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV. It is priced identically at $131 – $159. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Glen Waverley is $148 – $180.

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.

The route, and what it costs to use it

Drivers take Springvale Rd/State Route 40, Monash Fwy/M1 and Citylink/M2 for this run. That route carries a toll of about $13.19, and it is already inside the fare you are quoted 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.

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 vehicle leaving the rank. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.

Where the number comes from

For a standard taxi from Glen Waverley the price is built from flag fall $5.25, distance (50.9 km at $2.34 per km) $119.11 and toll $13.19. That comes to $138, and the $131 – $159 range you see allows for your exact pickup address and the route your driver ends up taking.

If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find the rank, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.

We used this taxi service for a trip from Altona to the airport and our return journey, and couldn’t be happier. The driver was on time both ways, communication was great from start to finish, and everything went smoothly. It was such a stress-free experience, especially after a long flight. Friendly, reliable service and we’ll definitely use them again. Highly recommend!

Travelled from Melbourne Eastern Suburbs to Airport with this outstanding company. From the moment of my online booking to the time of arrival at each end, the communication was clear, the customer service was top notch and the ride was smooth. Easy to find and coordinate at the airport for pick up (always my concern with pre-booking taxi service). Staff were ALL friendly and professional. Cannot recommend this company enough.
