Yes, $40 is on the high side (by about $12-$15). You should have worked it into the hotel rate when you booked your room.
My advice is: bite the bullet and take the hotel car. It cuts through all the hassle and the price to pay is (relatively) small. Remember, your flight will most likely be getting into Mumbai at an ungoldly hour in the night.
