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.
For an arrival with luggage or children, meet and greet at $35 is usually worth it: your driver is inside the terminal rather than at the kerb.

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.
