Taxi in Hastings,
pre-booked, because nothing passes by.
Hastings sits on the Western Port side of the Mornington Peninsula, roughly 58 km from the Melbourne CBD and 72 km from Melbourne Airport. There is no rank to walk to and very little passing trade — cabs here are dispatched to a specific address at a specific time. Book ahead and a car is allocated to you rather than found on the day.
No payment now — our dispatcher calls you to confirm. Card, Cabcharge, MPTP and cash all accepted in the cab.
Metered fare with live tariff. Calculated using Victorian CPVV (Day Rate) tariffs plus live route data. Tolls passed through at cost.
Where we pick up around Hastings.
Most Hastings pickups are residential doorstep jobs off High Street, Marine Parade and the estates towards Tyabb and Bittern. The foreshore, Western Port Marina and the industrial precinct near the port each have their own access road, so name the gate or the boat ramp rather than just the street — the frontages run for a long way.

Booking a Hastings taxi: what to know
Hastings is outside the busy metropolitan dispatch zone, so every trip is pre-arranged. For an airport run give us at least the night before — 72 km to Tullamarine means the car has to be positioned in the area well ahead of your pickup time.
The Stony Point railway line runs from Hastings but only connects to Frankston, so most people travelling on to the CBD or the airport find a direct cab faster than the two or three changes public transport requires. Ask for a fixed price and the total is locked in before you leave.
Frankston Hospital and Peninsula Private are the usual medical destinations from Hastings, around 25–30 minutes depending on Frankston-Flinders Road traffic. MPTP-subsidised fares are accepted — call 0421 807 027 rather than booking online so the right vehicle and paperwork are arranged.
Western Port weather can close the foreshore car park approaches in winter. If you're being picked up at the marina or the jetty in bad weather, nominate a sheltered meeting point on Marine Parade instead.
