Your airport run from Phillip Island
Phillip Island is a regional transfer of 165 km, about 122 minutes each way. The estimated fare is around $384 – $466, quoted upfront and including tolls.
Country runs are usually where quoting gets vague. Ours is a number on the page, the same one you pay at the end.
Working out your pickup time
Working backwards from a domestic departure, four hours is a comfortable buffer from Phillip Island, or one more hour if you are flying international. The drive itself is 122 minutes.
We run 24 hours and there is no night rate. A 3am pickup costs the same as a 3pm one, which is worth knowing when you are weighing an early flight against a convenient one.
Groups and larger vehicles
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV. It is priced identically at $384 – $466. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Phillip Island is $401 – $487.
If your pickup is closer to Crib Point 3919, Hastings 3915 and Mornington Peninsula, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Phillip Island 3922, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
Which way the trip runs
Drivers take Back Beach Rd/C478, Phillip Island Rd/B420 and Bass Hwy/M420 for this run. That route carries a toll of about $13.19, and it is already inside the fare you are quoted rather than added at the end. We use the toll road because on a 165 km trip the time it saves is worth more than the charge, particularly for an early flight.
The trip in the other direction
For the inbound trip to Phillip Island, add the airport's own $5.26 pickup fee to the fare above. Everything else is identical, including the 122 minute drive. Give us the flight number and we adjust to the actual landing time.
What makes up the Phillip Island price
Broken down, a Phillip Island airport trip is flag fall $5.25, distance (165 km at $2.34 per km) $386.10 and toll $13.19. $405 all up. The $384 – $466 you see quoted is that number with a small allowance either side.
If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find the rank, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.

Travelled from Melbourne Eastern Suburbs to Airport with this outstanding company. From the moment of my online booking to the time of arrival at each end, the communication was clear, the customer service was top notch and the ride was smooth. Easy to find and coordinate at the airport for pick up (always my concern with pre-booking taxi service). Staff were ALL friendly and professional. Cannot recommend this company enough.
