Default Taxi from Perth airport - book in advance?

My husband's arriving back from a business trip at 6am on Friday morning so, selfish cow that I am, I won't be going to pick him up.

Is there a cheaper/better alternative than just grabbing a taxi from the airport? Any kind of car service we can pre-book? (His company will pay, so I'm not looking for shuttle bus plus train type combos, but if there's a better way than a taxi it'd be good to know).

He'll be coming to Burns Beach, so I'm guessing taxi will be around $70?

You can pre-book Swan Taxis and Tricolor taxis.

I'm hopefully meeting up with Fo3 again next week (if she can fit it in to her busy schedule of booking taxis & her shopping deliveries ). I'll message you on FB if you fancy joining us.

I have to meet NB again - I want to hear about her mop.

(Although judging by this I'll be getting a cleaner to wield it.)

(And to tell her about the latest in the saga of why my neighbour must think I'm barking mad.)

That makes me sound like a boring housewife!! I haven't bought one yet btw, may get round to it tomorrow after my cut and colour. Oh the joys of being a lady who lunches

Ooh, I'm having a cut tomorrow, presumably at the same place. I'm 11.30, what time are you?

(Then I'm going shopping for cushions.....)

My other half would do it for $100 but that would include a foot rub and free bottle of bud
