Taxis

Taxis and rideshare services (like Uber and Didi) are the most common options. There is no dedicated, staffed taxi rank, so it is essential to pre-book a taxi or use a smartphone app to request a ride for pickup from the airport.

Rental Cars

There are no car rental companies located directly within the Moorabbin Airport terminal. Major rental agencies like Hertz, Avis, and Budget have depots in the surrounding suburbs (e.g., Cheltenham), which are a short taxi ride away. Booking in advance is highly recommended.

Public Transportation

Moorabbin Airport has no direct train or tram connections. The nearest public transport options are PTV bus routes operating on nearby main roads, such as Centre Dandenong Road. These buses can connect you to the closest train stations, Cheltenham and Mentone on the Frankston line.

Moorrabbin is still very busy with training and helicopter operations. Also commuter and regional service flights

Wonder why

Back in the 60's this was the busiest airport in the southern hemisphere (by aircraft movements - most were training flights). Much quieter these days.
