Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Frankston South, 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.

Frankston South to Melbourne Airport, start to finish

Frankston South is 80.9 km away, which puts it among the longer transfers we run. Around 59 minutes normally, up to 89 at the wrong time of day. Estimated fare around $204 – $248.

Over this distance a metered fare becomes genuinely unpredictable, because every slow patch adds to it. This is where an upfront price is worth the most.

When to leave Frankston South

For a domestic flight, allow three and a half hours between leaving Frankston South and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 59 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.

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

An SUV from Frankston South costs the same $204 – $248 as a standard taxi, so if you are carrying extra bags or want more room, take it at no extra cost. A maxi seating up to eleven is $221 – $268.

If your pickup is closer to Langwarrin 3910, Mt Eliza 3930 and Frankston North 3200, those areas have their own pages with their own estimated fares.

We cover all of Frankston South 3199, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

Which way the trip runs

This one runs via Frankston - Flinders Rd/Moorooduc Hwy/C77, Monash Fwy/M1 and Citylink/M2. The $19.72 in tolls is a real cost we pass on at cost, not a rounded surcharge, and it is already counted in the price you see.

The trip in the other direction

Flying into Melbourne and heading to Frankston South costs the same as the trip out, plus the $5.26 airport pickup fee the airport charges on every departure from the rank. We track your flight at no extra cost, so you are collected when you actually land.

Where the number comes from

Every part of the Frankston South fare is visible: flag fall $5.25, distance (80.9 km at $2.34 per km) $189.31 and toll $19.72. That is $215, shown as $204 – $248 to account for your pickup point and the route on the day.

Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting airside of the exit with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.

We used this taxi service for a trip from Altona to the airport and our return journey, and couldn’t be happier. The driver was on time both ways, communication was great from start to finish, and everything went smoothly. It was such a stress-free experience, especially after a long flight. Friendly, reliable service and we’ll definitely use them again. Highly recommend!

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.
