The road we take from Glen Iris
Your driver will use Citylink/M2. That adds roughly $13.19 in tolls, which sits inside the quoted fare. We do not hand you a separate toll charge at the end of the trip.
The trip in the other direction
Landing at Tullamarine and heading for Glen Iris 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
Every part of the Glen Iris fare is visible: flag fall $5.25, distance (36.5 km at $2.34 per km) $85.41 and toll $13.19. That is $104, shown as $98 – $120 to account for your pickup point and the route on the day.
Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting airside of the exit with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.

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.
