Booking a Cab in Frankston
From Frankston we go through the tunnels on CityLink, or around the Ring Road when the city is busy. Allow about 69 minutes for the airport and closer to 50 for the city centre.
On a trip this length the early morning airport runs are worth booking the night before. A car has to travel out to reach you, and a 4am pickup arranged at 3am is a much harder ask than one arranged the evening before.
We cover Frankston as part of the bayside and the south, and the neighbouring suburbs listed below are all on the same run, so a job that starts in one and finishes in another is priced the same way.

A sedan works out around $179 to $218 for the roughly 78.5 km run, and a maxi seating eleven around $196 to $238. Those estimates come from the metered rates applied to the real road distance, and they include the toll where the route carries one. The exact total depends on the traffic and the time of day.
How long does it take to get from Frankston to the airport?
Around 69 minutes in ordinary traffic, going through the tunnels on CityLink, or around the Ring Road when the city is busy.

Can I book a maxi taxi in Frankston?
Yes. The maxi seats up to eleven people and takes 8 large bags, which is the one to book for a group heading to the airport together. It carries a $17.80 surcharge over a sedan on the same trip. Book it online or by phone and say how many bags are coming.
Is a silver service car available in Frankston?
Yes. Silver service is Melbourne's premium taxi tier, a better car with a suited driver, and it runs on the same metered rate with a $11.00 surcharge. From Frankston that puts an airport run at roughly $189 to $230.
Do you pick up from Frankston late at night?
Yes, bookings run around the clock. A late trip is priced on a different tariff: the evening and overnight rate applies from 5pm to 9am, and the higher weekend rate applies 10pm to 4am Friday and Saturday nights, and public holidays. Booking ahead matters more at those hours, particularly for a Frankston pickup.
