Tullamarine is unlike any other suburb we serve, because the airport sits right inside it. Quiet residential streets, handy industrial pockets and a cluster of airport hotels all share the same postcode as the terminals.
That closeness makes this the shortest transfer we offer. Because your door is only minutes from the runway, there is no freeway slog and almost no traffic risk to plan around.
Our chauffeurs know every corner of this area. As a result, we know how Melrose Drive flows near the terminals, which hotel forecourts allow a quick pick-up, and where a car can wait outside a home on a leafy back street.
This page sets out what residents, guests and visiting executives should know before booking a Tullamarine chauffeur service for the airport.
Tullamarine lies about 16 kilometres north-west of the CBD, within the City of Hume. Melrose Drive runs through its centre, while the airport itself borders the suburb to the north.
From the terminals, the drive covers only about 3 to 6 kilometres. Naturally, the exact figure depends on whether you are heading to a residential street, an airport hotel or a business off Melrose Drive.
Typical travel times look like this:
Most runs simply leave the terminal precinct, join Melrose Drive or the airport approach roads, then reach your address within minutes. There is no CityLink, no tunnel and no cross-city drive involved.
In short, no suburb sits closer to the airport than this one. However, terminal-area congestion is the only real variable, since the roads right by the gates can bank up at busy times.
Airport and aviation workers form a large part of our work here, given how many live within minutes of their shifts. For them, a reliable car at an odd hour beats waking a family for a lift.
Hotel guests near the terminals book us too, often for onward city trips or early connections. Because the hotels cluster tightly, a driver who knows each forecourt saves valuable minutes.
Local families and residents make up another steady group, many drawn to the suburb by that unbeatable airport access. Meanwhile, crew members and stopover passengers value a smooth ride to a nearby address.
Business visitors to the industrial estates round out the mix. Above all, everyone here shares the same rare perk, which is being closer to the gates than almost anyone in Melbourne.
Live flight tracking begins the moment your plane leaves the origin airport. So an early landing brings the chauffeur forward, while a delay moves your booking without any waiting charge.
Domestic arrivals include 30 minutes of complimentary waiting from touchdown. International arrivals include a full 60 minutes, and your driver waits inside the terminal at the arrivals gate with a name board.
Before you land, the driver’s name, mobile number, vehicle and registration arrive by message. Therefore, nobody circles a car park after a long flight looking for an unfamiliar car.
For departures, the tiny distance is a real treat. We suggest leaving Tullamarine two hours before an international flight and just an hour before a domestic one, with the car at your door 10 minutes early.
Victorian law requires an approved restraint for every child up to seven years of age. Rather than treat that as an extra, we fit the correct seats as part of the standard service.
Rear-facing capsules suit newborns and babies. Forward-facing harness seats handle toddlers, while boosters cover older children who still need support.
Each restraint is fitted at our depot, then rechecked at pick-up. Please share your child’s age and rough weight when booking, so the right seat is ready the first time.
Prams deserve a mention too. Since a stroller plus several suitcases will not fit a sedan boot, we would rather send a people mover for your luxury airport transfers Tullamarine booking than have you rearranging bags at the kerb.

Whichever one your flight arrives at. Melbourne Airport has four terminals, so we ask for your flight number rather than just the airline, then send the driver to the matching arrivals hall.
Many think so. A fixed price, a waiting driver and help with the bags make even a short ride easier than a shuttle, a taxi rank or a family favour at dawn.
