The journey

What the Trip Looks Like

About 106 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 159 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Portsea Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Point Nepean Road The first leg out of Portsea.
  • Mornington Peninsula Freeway (M11) The main run in, covering most of the 134.7 km.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at the departures door for your airline, so there is no walk between terminals.

Working Out Your Pickup Time

Start from your departure time, take off two hours for a domestic flight or three for an international one, then take off the drive. For a 9am domestic flight from Portsea you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 159 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 4:20am.

We run 24 hours. Pickups between 5pm and 9am use the evening and overnight rate shown in the table, so an early start costs a little more than a midday one.

Your Airport Run from Portsea

This is a long haul: 134.7 km from Portsea to the terminal, roughly 106 minutes.

The usual way from Portsea is Point Nepean Road and Mornington Peninsula Freeway (M11). There is roughly $19.85 of tolls on that route, included in the estimate you see before you book.

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, from homes and workplaces to schools, shops and any other address in the area. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

Where the Number Comes from

The fare box above shows how the Portsea price is built: flag fall, the distance and any toll, added up and rounded to the typical total. Nothing about it is a zone rate. The typical total is the sum above rounded up to the next whole dollar, and the estimate runs from 5% under it to 15% over it, the same rule for every vehicle. A different pickup street, a detour or roadworks on the day, waiting time and extras such as a baby seat are what move a fare inside that estimate.

Your pickup time sets the rate, as the table by pickup time above shows, and your estimate uses the rate for the time you choose when you book. For a fixed price, call or email us and we will confirm it before your trip. No surge, no meter, no surprises.

Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at a typical $326 (estimate $309 – $375). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from Portsea carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $309 – $375. Travelling with young children? A baby seat is $40 per seat, per trip, fitted before your driver arrives, so tell us the age and weight of each child when you book.

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 trip that starts there. Flight tracking is included, so a late arrival does not become a waiting charge.

Your driver collects you from the terminal your flight lands at: Terminal 1 for Qantas domestic, Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 3 for Virgin Australia and Terminal 4 for Jetstar and other low cost domestic airlines. Turn your phone on once you are off the plane and your driver confirms the meeting point. Bags on a domestic flight usually take 20 to 30 minutes, and an international arrival through customs takes longer, so book for your landing time and let the flight tracking do the rest.

If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign than find your driver outside, meet and greet is $35 and covers an hour of waiting.

Jarrod Meakin 24 Oct 2024
Car was ordered for 10:30, arrived exactly on time, suitcase was loaded for me so no lifting :-) Interior was spotless and comfortable. Driving was smooth and we felt safe with the driver who managed the heavy traffic with confidence. Would recommend without hesitation.
Jimmy J 17 Apr 2026
Fantastic taxi service - use them to Melbourne Airport often, the service is always excellent, and drivers are lovely and always punctual.
Matilda Edwards 18 Feb 2025
Burwood to Airport return I always have excellent service from Prahb and Sherry’s team. They are friendly and reliable service, especially early morning trips. I don't have to worry about services cancelling like some ride sharing services. The cars they use are always impeccable clean and the ride is comfortable. I highly recommend them if you are a corporate traveller like me, who travel in some ungodly hours and don't want the hassle.
Ang Mac 17 Feb 2025
We have used this company on a number of occasions and without exception, the service offered has been exemplary. The drivers, (most recently, Deep) have all been particularly helpful, friendly and provide regular updates on arrival times and meeting points. Their luxury cars are always immaculate and this, along with the professionalism of the drivers, makes travel to and from the airport stress free and enjoyable.
