Carlton to
Melbourne Airport

Chauffeur from Carlton to Melbourne Airport. Fixed price from $120 including GST and tolls, CPVV licensed, door-to-terminal service.

Chauffeur from Carlton to Melbourne Airport

A lot of Carlton departures are early: students heading home, researchers flying out of the university precinct, and diners who stayed longer than planned on Lygon Street. Your driver arrives at the address you gave us a few minutes before the pick-up time and waits, so you are not watching the street for a car.

From Carlton to the terminals is roughly 24 km, or about 25 minutes outside peak hour, usually via the Tullamarine Freeway and CityLink, then Elgin Street or Swanston Street. You pay a fixed $120 for a Business Sedan, with GST and tolls included.

Working Out Your Pick-up Time from Carlton

Check-in and security take time, so we plan for about two hours before a domestic departure and three before an international one. From Carlton, that usually means:

These times include a few minutes for loading and a margin for traffic. Tell us your flight time when you book and we will confirm the exact pick-up.

The Pick-up and the Drive

Carlton's narrow streets and tram corridors slow things down more than the map suggests, so we plan the pick-up from the street you will actually be standing on. Tell us if the entrance is on a side lane or you are in an apartment building with a security door, and we will message you when the car is out the front.

Leaving from Carlton

If you are leaving Carlton after a weekend of Lygon Street dinners, a booked car is easier than a taxi hunt on a busy Saturday night. Residents of the apartment towers near Swanston Street and Grattan Street can give us the loading bay or lobby entrance, and the driver will meet you at that point with your luggage loaded. Students leaving at the end of semester can book a larger vehicle for extra bags.

For a Carlton departure we recommend giving the street and cross street rather than only a street number, since several streets here run for a short distance and change names. Universities and colleges around Grattan and Cardigan Streets also have multiple gates. Tell us the gate and we will park legally and message you.
