Melbourne Airport — Private Transfers
Melbourne Airport (MEL/Tullamarine) is 23 km north-west of the CBD — a 30–50 minute drive depending on traffic on the Tullamarine Freeway. With no rail link from the airport to the city, a private transfer is the most direct and predictable option for reaching your hotel or suburb.
Why book a private transfer from Melbourne Airport?
- No airport train in Melbourne means taxis, rideshare and private cars are the only door-to-door options — a private transfer with a fixed fare removes all metered uncertainty.
- MEL has four terminals (T1–T4) in one precinct; your driver is assigned to the correct terminal kerbside bay matching your arrival, not a generic zone.
- Your quoted fare includes the CityLink toll — no unexpected charges added on arrival, regardless of whether traffic routes you via the freeway.
