Flying into Melbourne and heading to Mernda costs the same as the trip out, plus the $5.26 airport pickup fee the airport charges on every trip that starts there. We track your flight at no extra cost, so you are collected when you actually land.
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.

Driver knows his roads and chose the best route to avoid traffic snarls. Driver very courteous and professional.
Our experience with Taxi to Melbourne Airport was a great experience on several occasions whilst visiting Melbourne. Short or long trips and on short notice was not a problem. Like a private chauffeur service, nice, clean cars and drivers are very friendly and professional. Thank you Deep for your fantastic service getting us around.
I travel almost weekly for work to and from the Airport to Hawthorn East. I have been using this company now (Prabh, Sherry, Deep and co) for well over a year and never once had a bad or even average experience, they are always so responsive, professional and just great guys in general! Several times I have needed a car (or 2 for work colleagues from SYD) at very short notice and they have arrived within minutes with immediate confirmation as always. On top of that their cars are always spotless and very comfortable. I recommend all my work colleagues from Sydney to use this company and they are equally as impressed. Out of the 100 lifts their service has been flawless. Don’t use anyone else in Melbourne!

What sets Deepak apart is his attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. He always arrives slightly early, and his drivers are friendly and accommodating. I appreciate the flexibility he offers, whether it's driving me himself or arranging for a colleague to take care of the trip.
