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 Frankston South you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 89 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:30am.
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.
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.
This one runs via Moorooduc Highway (C77), Monash Freeway (M1) and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway. The $19.85 in tolls is a real cost we pass on at cost, not a rounded surcharge, and it is already counted in the estimate.
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.
Where the Number Comes from
Every part of the Frankston South fare is visible: day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (80.9 km at $2.10 per km) $169.89 and toll $19.85 by day. That is a typical $196, shown as $186 – $226 to account for your pickup point and the route on the day. 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. A standard taxi from Frankston South is typically $196 by day, $213 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $235 on a Friday or Saturday night after 10pm or a public holiday. Your estimate uses the rate for the time you choose when you book. For a fixed price, call or email us and we will agree the fare before you travel.
An SUV from Frankston South is typically $213 (estimate $202 – $245): the standard fare plus a $17.80 high occupancy surcharge. It seats four, like a sedan, with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For five or more passengers take the maxi, which seats up to eleven and carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is also typically $213 (estimate $202 – $245). 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
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 trip that starts there. We track your flight at no extra cost, so you are collected when you actually land.
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.
Add meet and greet for $35 and your driver is waiting inside the arrivals hall with your name on a sign, with an hour of waiting built in.

Utterly professional and on time cab service!! A big shout to Deepak for ensuring smooth and wonderful trip from airport!!
“Fantastic customer service. The car was beautiful and spotless, and the driver was always welcoming with a warm smile. A truly lovely and reliable service with regular ETA updates. I would definitely keep recommending them.”
Luxury, comfort and professionalism. Have been using for work trips will be now used for personal trips too! 😊
I travel almost weekly for work to and from the Airport to Hawthorn East. I have been using this company now (Prabh, Sherry, Deep and co) for well over a year and never once had a bad or even average experience, they are always so responsive, professional and just great guys in general! Several times I have needed a car (or 2 for work colleagues from SYD) at very short notice and they have arrived within minutes with immediate confirmation as always. On top of that their cars are always spotless and very comfortable. I recommend all my work colleagues from Sydney to use this company and they are equally as impressed. Out of the 100 lifts their service has been flawless. Don’t use anyone else in Melbourne!
Exceptional service. Always on time, and booking is a breeze, Communication is fantastic. I’m told exactly what car (make, model and rego) will be picking me up and from where, very handy especially for airport travel. Everyone is so friendly and polite and the vehicles are immaculate. Highly recommend.
Deep, Sherry and team are fabulous. High quality service and easy to deal with. Highly recommens
The best in the business. Always reliable, always on time, dependable, professional, clean and very caring. Work trips or holiday travel with family Monty and his team get you the airport and back home safely.
Highly professional service from start to finish. I cannot recommend Deep and his excellent team of drivers highly enough. We loved our journey to and from the Yarra Valley - the communication was clear and timely, the car was immaculate and our driver was amazing. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I highly recommend this company. Everything ran smoothly with timely contact keeping me up to date with the required details. The drivers were professional and the cars were modern and clean. The drivers also had a knowledge of Melbourne which would be beneficial for someone visiting this great city for the first time.
Everything they do is better than competition. I only use a few times each year for airport runs and am grateful I found this team.
