Airport Transfers from Frankston

The most requested booking from Frankston is a trip to Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine). The route runs north via Eastlink through Ringwood and onto the Western Ring Road, then north west to Tullamarine. The distance is approximately 75 to 85 kilometres depending on your pickup address within Frankston, and the metered fare works out to approximately $169 to $184. The minimum departure time for a domestic flight should be at least two and a half hours, and three hours for an international departure.

On Friday and Saturday nights after 10pm, Tariff 3 applies at $2.34 per kilometre. For a standard Frankston airport pickup that adds approximately $10 to the fare. A Silver Service upgrade for an executive vehicle adds $11. A Maxi Taxi for a group up to eleven passengers adds $17.80 on top of the metered fare.

Avalon Airport is also covered. The distance from Frankston to Avalon via the Princes Freeway runs approximately 90 to 95 kilometres and the fare comes to around $200 to $215.

Frankston Station and Late Night Pickups

Frankston Station is the terminal stop on the Frankston line, which means it draws a regular demand for taxis when late trains terminate and passengers need a cab to get home. We cover the station area and surrounding streets at any hour. For passengers arriving from Flinders Street or Southern Cross on evening trains, booking a taxi before you board gives you a confirmed driver waiting at Frankston when you arrive.

The stop serves Frankston Central, but passengers heading to Frankston South, Frankston North, Carrum Downs, Skye, or Langwarrin frequently book a Silver Taxi from the station rather than wait for a connecting bus.

Frankston Hospital and Medical Transport

Frankston Hospital on Hastings Road is one of the largest public hospitals in Victoria’s south east. Medical transport to and from the hospital is a regular booking, covering non emergency patient transfers, visiting family, before admission appointments, and discharge transport for patients who cannot use public transit. TAC and WorkSafe approved trips to Frankston Hospital are available, with eligible fares billed directly through Cabcharge at no cost out of pocket to the patient.

How long does a taxi take from Frankston to Melbourne Airport?

Between 7am and 9am on weekdays, Eastlink traffic approaching Ringwood and the Ring Road merge can add 15 to 25 minutes. Silver Taxi Melbourne recommends leaving Frankston at least two and a half hours before a domestic flight and at least three hours before an international departure.
