★★★★★

"Staying at the Novotel on St Kilda foreshore, dragging 3 heavy suitcases onto the tram to catch the bus was out of the question. Prime Taxi was waiting right outside the hotel lobby at 5:00 AM sharp. Locked price was $70 with tolls included — cheaper than 3 bus tickets!"

"Living off Acland St, finding early morning rideshares that don't cancel at the last minute is tough. Booked Prime Taxi the day before. The driver arrived in a clean Lexus ES300h, took the Kings Way express route, and got me to T3 in 28 minutes."

"Returned from Bali on a delayed flight after midnight. Uber had a crazy 2.2x surge at Tullamarine. Prime Taxi had tracked our flight radar, met us right at the T2 exit, and honored the original quoted price back to Elwood."

Yes, absolutely. Unlike app rideshares that suffer from driver cancellations in the early morning, pre-booking with Prime Taxi assigns a dedicated chauffeur the evening prior.
