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 Mentone you want to be at the terminal by 7am; allowing 77 minutes for morning peak traffic, book a pickup for about 5:40am.
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.
Mentone to Melbourne Airport, Start to Finish
From Mentone, Melbourne Airport is 45.2 km away. Budget 51 minutes off peak and up to 77 when the freeways are busy.
The 45.2 km route from Mentone uses Nepean Highway and CityLink to the Tullamarine Freeway, with about $13.32 of tolls along the way. Both the distance and the toll are in the estimate before you confirm the booking.
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.
Where the Number Comes from
Nothing about the Mentone fare is a zone rate. By day it is day rate flag fall $5.40, distance (45.2 km at $2.10 per km) $94.92 and toll $13.32, a typical total of $114. It is shown as $108 – $132 because your street and the traffic on the day can move the distance a little either way. 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 Mentone is typically $114 by day, $125 for a pickup between 5pm and 9am, and $137 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.
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV at a typical $132 (estimate $125 – $152). It seats four with room for 4 large and 3 small bags. For a group of five to eleven, the maxi from Mentone carries the same $17.80 surcharge, so it is the same $125 – $152. 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.
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.
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.
