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 $118 – $144.
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 hours carry no surcharge, so the time on your booking makes no difference to the price.
If you need more room
Carrying extra luggage, take the SUV. It is priced identically at $118 – $144. For a group of up to eleven, the maxi from Mentone is $135 – $165.
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 flag fall $5.25, distance (45.2 km at $2.34 per km) $105.77 and toll $13.19, totalling $125, which is why the figure quoted is $118 – $144 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.

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.
