Why locals book a Somers taxi service
Somers is a quiet bayside locality on Western Port, and Wikipedia counts 1,857 residents at the 2021 census. It places Somers about 67 km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Balnarring lies to the west, and Bittern and Hastings sit to the north. The Shire of Mornington Peninsula covers the area.
The page also notes that Somers has no shopping strips, centres or supermarkets. A general store and cafe stock groceries, but bigger shops are in Balnarring and Hastings. So a Somers taxi service helps with the weekly shop, especially if you have no car or heavy bags.
Airport Taxi Cabs Melbourne runs around the clock. You can book by phone or with the form above. We confirm your fare first, and then your driver comes to the door.
Coolart, the foreshore and local reserves
Coolart Wetlands and Homestead is one of the best known spots here. Walkers also enjoy the Koala Walk, Merricks Creek Foreshore Reserve and Somers Foreshore Reserve. Other green spaces include R.W. Stone Reserve and the Lord Somers Camp Playing Field.
Not everyone can walk to these places, and parking can be tricky when visitors arrive. A taxi drops you close, then collects you when you finish. Families with prams, picnic gear and tired children find that very handy.
The coast has a view of Cowes on Phillip Island from most Somers beaches, according to Wikipedia. Visitors who stay in the area often book a Somers taxi service for sightseeing days. One booking can also cover Balnarring or Bittern.
Sailing weekends, schools and community trips
Somers Yacht Club hosts catamaran races on weekends when conditions suit. Sailors arrive with gear that does not fit a small car. A wagon or maxi taxi carries it all, and nobody needs to leave a car at the club.
Somers also has a primary school, a kindergarten and a CFA fire station. Parents and carers sometimes need a lift when the family car is busy. We can arrange regular runs, so the same driver can become a familiar face. Local groups can also ask about our corporate taxi service.
Somers to Melbourne Airport transfers
Melbourne Airport at Tullamarine is about 105 km from Somers. Off-peak, the drive takes roughly 82 minutes. Peak traffic can stretch that, though, so allow a buffer. Our airport transfer service page explains how pickups work at both ends.
We run 24/7, so a very early flight is no problem. If you fly at dawn, a Somers taxi service driver arrives while the street is still dark. See the Melbourne Airport website for current passenger advice. Tell us your flight time, and we suggest when to leave.
Avalon is a much longer trip, so book well ahead. The Avalon Airport taxi fares page shows popular routes.
Hospital trips and appointments from Somers
Frankston Hospital on Hastings Road is the main public hospital for many Somers residents, roughly 33 km away. It has a large emergency department and many specialist services. Rosebud Hospital is another option, and Peninsula Health runs both. A pre-booked car means you arrive on time, plus you skip the parking search.
Let us know if you need help with steps or a walker. We can also arrange your return pickup, so you are not left waiting after the appointment. Medical trips are a regular part of any Somers taxi service.
