Melbourne Airport Transfer Options
Shared Shuttle Transfers
Our shared shuttle transfers offer a convenient method of travel at the very best value for money. Serving hotels and other popular accommodation in and around Melbourne, as well as down to the port, this is the perfect choice for those of you want to keep a little more in your pocket for the rest of the trip. You will join other travellers in a large vehicle that may make some stops before yours to drop off guests at other resorts.
Speedy Shared Shuttle Transfers
Offering fantastic value transport just like our shared shuttles, our speedy shuttles work in almost exactly the same way, except you can expect to get to your destination a little sooner. You'll be travelling with other passengers who may need to be dropped off at their hotel ahead of your own drop-off, but the speedy shuttle makes fewer stops. This is the perfect choice to balance great value with quicker transfer times.
Private Transfers
Private airport transfers offer you the traditional transfer experience. Your driver will be waiting for you when you land, and it's simply a case of you and your travel companions grabbing your luggage, meeting your personal driver and hopping straight in the car. There's no extra stops when you choose a private transfer - you'll be taken straight to your resort or hotel from arrivals. This is the most similar option to a taxi service, without having to locate a free vehicle, or worry about driving up the cost.
Luxury Transfers
Enjoy everything you get from our standard private airport transfers, but with that extra touch of something truly special. Perfect for the very best possible start to your holiday, or to celebrate something special, you'll be picked up in a top-notch vehicle and whisked straight to your accommodation. This is one of our best transfer options for the perfect start to your trip.
Private Minibus Transfer
If you're travelling in a large group, be it with all your friends or as part of a family reunion, then you can book your very own private minibus for the gang. No need for your group to all clamber onto a shared transfer - everyone can be transported in a single vehicle your group will have to themselves. Private minibus hire caters for up to a maximum of 22 people.
Wheelchair Adapted Transfers
If you or your travelling companion make use of a wheelchair, then you can book one of our specially-adapted vehicles to ensure a smooth airport transfer process for the whole group. A wheelchair adapted transfer offers a door-to-door experience, with a driver who will be on hand to provide whatever assistance anyone may need. The car seats up to 4 passengers and everything will be paid for in advance, so you can focus on relaxing on the day.
Coach Transfers
Travelling in a group that won't fit into a minibus? If you need to transport a wedding party, sports team, or other seriously big group of travellers, then you can hire out a whole full-sized coach to get you where you need to go with the minimum of fuss and hassle. Our coaches typically offer up space for up to 50 people, and come with representatives on board who are on hand to take care of everything you may need.
