Flying out early?
For a morning departure from Portsea, allow an extra hour on top of the drive time for check in and security. We run 24 hours, so a 3am pickup costs exactly the same as a 3pm one.
Your airport run from Portsea
This is a long haul: 133.7 km from Portsea to the terminal, roughly 102 minutes. You pay around $321 – $389 rather than a fare that climbs with the odometer.
Regional airport transfers are the trips most operators either decline or price on the spot. We run them every day, at a price you can see before booking.
Working out your pickup time
Working backwards from a domestic departure, four hours is a comfortable buffer from Portsea, or one more hour if you are flying international. The drive itself is 102 minutes.
There is no late night loading and no early morning premium. The fare is the same at 4am as it is at midday.
Groups and larger vehicles
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV. It is priced identically at $321 – $389. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Portsea is $338 – $410.
If your pickup is closer to Bellarine Peninsula 3222, Dromana 3936 and Safety Beach 3936, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.
We cover all of Portsea 3944, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.
Which way the trip runs
The usual way from Portsea is Point Nepean Rd, Point Nepean Rd/B110 and Mornington Peninsula Fwy/M11. There is roughly $19.72 of tolls on that route, included in your quoted price before you book. On a run of 133.7 km the alternative free route costs more in time than the toll costs in money.
The trip in the other direction
Landing at Tullamarine and heading for Portsea works the same way in reverse. Same distance, same rate, plus the $5.26 pickup fee the airport levies on every vehicle leaving the rank. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.
Where the number comes from
The Portsea estimate is not guesswork. It is flag fall $5.25, distance (133.7 km at $2.34 per km) $312.86 and toll $19.72, which totals $338. We publish it as $321 – $389 because the exact street you are picked up from moves the distance slightly.
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.
