Taxi Bonbeach - 24/7 Cab Service (3196)

If you live in Bonbeach and you are heading to Melbourne Airport, a taxi is almost always the most practical option. Bonbeach sits at the southern end of Kingston, roughly 57 kilometres from Tullamarine by road, and the trip takes between 55 minutes and 75 minutes depending on traffic. Silver Taxi Melbourne covers airport transfers from Bonbeach 24 hours a day, with fixed route pricing so you know the cost before you leave.

The fare from Bonbeach to Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) is approximately $125 in a standard sedan, calculated on the metered rate of $9.90 flag fall plus $2.20 per kilometre. A $5.26 airport pickup fee applies when we collect you from the terminal arrivals area on the return leg. For a Silver Service vehicle, a $11 surcharge applies on top of the meter.

Why Taxi is the Right Call from Bonbeach

Bonbeach does not have direct bus connections to Tullamarine. The Frankston line train drops you at Southern Cross, and from there you need a SkyBus or connecting transport, adding time and luggage handling at both ends. For most Bonbeach residents with one or two bags, a direct taxi to the airport door is faster and often comparable in total cost once SkyBus fares and the train ticket are added up.

We track flight times and do not charge waiting fees when your inbound flight lands early or runs slightly late on airport pickups. For departures, we recommend leaving Bonbeach at least two hours and 45 minutes before a domestic flight, accounting for traffic on the Monash Freeway and the Western Ring Road.

Local Cab Service in Bonbeach

Airport runs are our most common Bonbeach booking, but we cover local trips as well. Rides to Chelsea for shopping, transfers to Frankston Hospital, trips to Edithvale or Carrum for local errands, school runs along the coast, and late night pickups from Bonbeach Station after the last Frankston line service are all regular bookings.

Bonbeach is a small suburb with most addresses within a few streets of the beach, so local fares typically fall between $39.90 (minimum) and $60 depending on destination. All standard sedan trips use the $9.90 flag fall plus $2.20 per kilometre rate.

Group and Family Travel

For groups of four or more with luggage, a Maxi Taxi is worth considering. It holds up to 11 passengers and carries more bags than a standard sedan. The Maxi surcharge is $17.80 on top of the metered fare. A group of four heading from Bonbeach to Melbourne Airport in a Maxi Taxi pays approximately $141 in total, which divides to around $35 per person. Cabcharge vouchers are accepted in all vehicles.
