Airport to Frankston: fares, tolls and timing
Most passengers on this route take a fixed price so the total is locked in before departure. The calculator shows both the metered estimate and the fixed quote once you enter your pickup date and time.
The metered fare uses the Victorian tariff that applies at your booking time — day, night or public holiday — plus the Melbourne Airport pickup fee and CityLink and EastLink tolls.
Weekday afternoon peak on EastLink and the Monash can add 20 minutes. If you have a flight to catch on the return leg, book at least 30 minutes earlier than you think you need.
Baby seats, extra luggage and wheelchair accessible vehicles can be arranged — call 0421 807 027 so dispatch allocates the right car for your time.
