Private Driver from Melbourne Airport to Carlton. Fixed price from $120 including GST and tolls, CPVV licensed, meet and greet included.
Carlton is the kind of suburb where visitors arrive with a specific address in mind: a terrace off Lygon Street, a serviced apartment near the university, or a booking beside the Carlton Gardens. A private car from Tullamarine takes the pressure off a late landing, because your driver already knows the one-way streets and where each building's entrance actually is.
Carlton is about 24 km from Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine), around 25 minutes in light traffic via the Tullamarine Freeway and CityLink, then Elgin Street or Swanston Street. Your Business Sedan fare is a fixed $120, including GST and tolls, and an Executive SUV or Flagship Luxury car is a little more. Vans for larger groups are quoted individually, so call or message us.
| Business Sedan (up to 4 pax) | $120 |
| Executive SUV (up to 4 pax) | $140 |
| Mercedes V250 (up to 7 pax) | $170 |
| Flagship Luxury (up to 4 pax) | $195 |
Prices are fixed, incl. GST & tolls. Enter your exact address on the booking page for a precise quote.
We drop at the door, not at the corner. That matters around Lygon Street, Drummond Street and Rathdowne Street, where parking restrictions and tram stops make a taxi rank-style drop awkward. Visitors heading to the Royal Exhibition Building or Melbourne Museum can be dropped at the Carlton Gardens edge, and families staying near Princes Park are taken straight to the street.
Carlton packs a lot into a small area. Lygon Street is Melbourne's Italian dining strip, the Melbourne Museum and Royal Exhibition Building sit in the Carlton Gardens, and Princes Park is home to the Carlton Football Club's training and women's team. Because so many visitors stay in short-term apartments, we ask for the building name and any entry code, so your driver is not circling the block while you wait at the wrong door.
Carlton sits right beside the CBD, so some travellers ask whether it is worth booking a car at all. The answer is yes when you land late or travel with bags: Elgin Street and Lygon Street can be hard to navigate at night with luggage. We also cover nearby Carlton North, Parkville and North Melbourne from the same booking.
Landing times change, so we watch your flight rather than the clock. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name board and has 45 minutes of complimentary waiting built in from the moment you actually touch down. Your driver then takes you to Carlton with no stops.
A Business Sedan costs $120, an Executive SUV $140 and a Flagship Luxury car $195. A Mercedes V250 seating up to 7 is $170. All fares are fixed and include GST and tolls.
Yes. Your fare covers any Carlton address, including the university edge on Grattan Street and Swanston Street, the Carlton Gardens and the Lygon Street strip.
It is one of the quicker inner-city runs. The Tullamarine Freeway and CityLink take most of the distance, and the last few minutes on inner streets are the only part that varies.
