A sedan works out around $101 to $123 for the roughly 42.0 km run, and a maxi seating eleven around $118 to $144.

Around 43 minutes in ordinary traffic, going through the tunnels on CityLink, or around the Ring Road when the city is busy. Add time in the weekday peaks, and for an international flight most airlines want you at the terminal three hours ahead, so a pickup about 3.7 hours before departure is the safe call from Chadstone.

Yes. The maxi seats up to eleven people and takes 8 large bags, which is the one to book for a group heading to the airport together. It carries a $17.80 surcharge over a sedan on the same trip. Book it online or by phone and say how many bags are coming.
Is a silver service car available in Chadstone?
Yes. Silver service is Melbourne's premium taxi tier, a better car with a suited driver, and it runs on the same metered rate with a $11.00 surcharge. From Chadstone that puts an airport run at roughly $112 to $136.
Do you pick up from Chadstone late at night?
Yes, bookings run around the clock. A late trip is priced on a different tariff: the evening and overnight rate applies from 5pm to 9am, and the higher weekend rate applies 10pm to 4am Friday and Saturday nights, and public holidays. Booking ahead matters more at those hours, particularly for a Chadstone pickup.
