Your local Rye taxi service, at any hour
Rye sits on the Port Phillip side of the Mornington Peninsula, about 95 km from Melbourne’s CBD. It belongs to the Shire of Mornington Peninsula, and Wikipedia records 9,438 residents at the 2021 census. Blairgowrie lies to the west and Tootgarook to the east.
Rye is a long way from the city, so many people prefer a booked car. Airport Taxi Cabs Melbourne runs a Rye taxi service around the clock. You can book by phone or with the form at the top of this page.

Rye to Melbourne Airport by taxi
Melbourne Airport at Tullamarine is roughly 125 km from Rye. Off-peak, the drive takes about 95 minutes. However, freeway traffic can stretch that, so allow extra time. A pre-booked Rye taxi service driver collects you at the door and heads straight for the terminal. Our airport transfer service page explains how pickups work at both ends.
Many flights leave early, and we run 24/7. If your flight departs before dawn, book the night before. Check the latest passenger advice on the Melbourne Airport website too. Then tell us your flight time, and we suggest a pickup with a comfortable margin.
Flying from Avalon instead? That trip is much longer, so book early. The Avalon Airport taxi fares page lists popular routes.
Golf, the pier and everyday trips around Rye
Rye is golf country. Moonah Links on Peter Thomson Drive and The Dunes Golf Links on Browns Road both sit nearby. Clubs and bags take space, so a wagon or maxi taxi works well. Book a Rye taxi service there and back, and nobody drives home after a long day.
Rye pier draws divers and walkers, and the summer carnival runs beside the pier carpark. Parking gets tight when crowds arrive. A taxi drops you close and collects you later. Wikipedia also notes a giant spider crab gathering each year from late May to June.
Beach days add to the mix. Rye has a Port Phillip beach and an ocean beach that is not patrolled. Families with towels, chairs and tired kids often prefer a taxi home.
History fans visit Grimwade House on Dundas Street, Sullivan’s Lime Kiln on Browns Road and the Old School House on Collingwood Street. Neighbours Blairgowrie and Tootgarook are minutes away. One booking can link several stops.
Hospital and appointment trips from Rye
Health trips matter to every Rye taxi service. Rosebud Hospital sits on Point Nepean Road, about 10 km from Rye along the peninsula. Peninsula Health runs it. For larger cases, Frankston Hospital on Hastings Road has a big emergency department and many specialist services. A booked taxi gets you there on time, and you skip the parking hunt.
Tell us about any mobility needs when you book. We can also arrange a return pickup, so you never wait stranded after an appointment. Clinics and businesses can set up regular rides through our corporate taxi service.
