Easy Airport Transfers with the
Melbourne Airport Shuttle

The Melbourne Airport Shuttle is a personalised and convenient way to get directly to your hotel. It saves the hassle of changing buses and having to work out where you need to go.


It runs from and to Tullamarine International and Domestic Airports as well as from and to the Linfox Avalon Domestic Airport. The journey from Tullamarine takes about 25 minutes to the city, from Avalon about 1 hour, depending on traffic conditions.

It is a “Meet and Greet" service, which takes you directly from the airport to your hotel - in downtown Melbourne, South Yarra, St. Kilda, Carlton or Outer city suburbs – and back from your hotel to your airport.


It is easy to find and entails meeting the driver after you picked up your luggage. He or she takes you to one of their modern mini coaches or buses, drives into Melbourne and drops you off at your hotel.

After a long flight I appreciate such a service and am glad not to have to lug my luggage around as well. It is well priced and not much more than the public bus. However, there is a small fee for excess luggage.

The airport shuttle has an excellent reputation. Travellers’ experiences are positive. The buses are easy to locate, the drivers are friendly and helpful, and the service is hassle free – even when flights were delayed.

Apart from getting to your hotel you get an enjoyable drive and an introduction to Melbourne.


You have to book the Melbourne airport shuttle at least 48 hours in advance, it cannot be arranged when you arrive. It can be booked online.

You will have to give them your flight and Melbourne hotel details. Your transfer will be confirmed instantaneously and you will be provided with a travel voucher to present to the driver. This confirmation also includes complete Operator information, such as their local telephone numbers.


However the airport shuttle does not take you to private addresses.

An alternative to the Melbourne airport shuttle is the Skybus at Tullamarine and the Sunbus at Avalon that take you to the Southern Cross Transit Centre in Swanston Street.

It costs nearly as much and you have to make your own way from there to where you want to go.

A taxi from the airport beats the shuttle price if at least three of you are travelling together.


If you don’t know Melbourne, the shuttle is a hassle free way to take you to your place of stay.
