The journey

What the trip looks like

About 51 minutes in normal traffic, or closer to 77 minutes in peak hour.

  • Pickup in Mentone Door to door, at the time you booked. Your driver calls on arrival.
  • Nepean Hwy/State Route 3 The first leg out of Mentone 3194.
  • Citylink/M2 Tolls on this stretch are already inside your fare.
  • Melbourne Airport terminal Dropped at your terminal door, about 51 minutes after pickup.

Flying out early?

For a morning departure from Mentone, 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.

Mentone to Melbourne Airport, start to finish

From Mentone, Melbourne Airport is 45.2 km away. Budget 51 minutes off peak, and expect to pay around $108 – $132.

In peak hour the same trip can stretch closer to 77 minutes. That changes when you should leave. It does not change what you pay.

When to leave Mentone

For a domestic flight, allow three hours between leaving Mentone and departure. Add an hour for international. That covers the 51 minute drive plus check in, bag drop and security.

Early departures are routine for us. The overnight rate applies from 5pm to 9am and is shown in your quote, so the price you book is the price you pay.

If you need more room

Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at $125 – $152. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Mentone is $125 – $152.

Nearby areas including Cheltenham 3192, Beaumaris 3193 and Black Rock 3193 are priced the same way, with their own fares listed on this site.

We cover all of Mentone 3194, including residential pickups, hotels and business addresses. Airport pickups back to the area are quoted the same way.

The route, and what it costs to use it

The 45.2 km route from Mentone uses Nepean Hwy/State Route 3 and Citylink/M2, with about $13.19 of tolls along the way. Both the distance and the toll are in the price before you confirm the booking.

Coming back to Mentone from the airport

Arriving rather than departing, the Mentone run is priced the same with the $5.26 airport pickup fee on top. We watch the flight, so if you are held up in the air or at the carousel your driver is still there.

Where the number comes from

Nothing about the Mentone fare is a zone rate. It is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (45.2 km at $2.10 per km) $94.92 and toll $13.19, totalling $114, which is why the figure quoted is $108 – $132 rather than a round number.

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.

This is the second time now I have used the service and it is outstanding from the minute you book to the time they pick you up. Drop you off and collect you again and bring you home. They look after everything. They let you know that they’re tracking your flights They’ll let you know where there will be. The Cars are in fantastic condition and Smell nice. You feel like you have your own private drivers collecting you. it’s a very special feeling I would highly recommend them to anyone that’s looking for a ride to and from the airport or just to the city for a function don’t hesitate. The pricing is fair. The cars are great.
