Airport transfers from St Kilda East to Tullamarine
Melbourne Airport is about 24 kilometres from St Kilda East, and the drive usually takes around 29 minutes when roads are quiet. However, freeway traffic can slow things down at peak times, so we always build in a buffer.
For a domestic flight, plan to leave about two and a half hours before departure. For an international flight, allow an extra hour. Share your flight number, and we will check for delays before the driver sets out. Read more about our airport transfer service or check terminals on the Melbourne Airport website.
When you land, your driver tracks your arrival and meets you once you have your bags. As a result, you skip the rank queue and go straight home.
Travelling with skis, golf clubs or a bike box? Say so when you book. We will send a car with enough room, and the driver helps you load before leaving St Kilda East.
Your driver arrives a few minutes early and waits at the agreed spot. Share a mobile number when you book, so you can reach each other quickly if the entrance is hard to spot.
Late arrivals are just as easy. If your plane lands after midnight, we still meet you, because we run around the clock and track the flight. As a result, you do not need to wait for a rank or a rideshare surge.
