Why Melbourne travellers book a chauffeur

A Melbourne airport booking is built around the nominated airport, terminal, flight, passenger contact, destination, passenger count and luggage. The route and pickup plan can then reflect the confirmed itinerary and traffic conditions. DriveToArrive holds Melbourne Airport Landside Driver Authority and Landside Vehicle Authority, and the exact ground-transport meeting point is confirmed for the booking.

T1 domestic arrivals and departures

T1 is one of Melbourne Airport's domestic terminals. Enter T1 in the booking together with the flight number rather than relying only on the airport name. The meeting point is confirmed in the booking, giving the passenger and chauffeur one written instruction to follow.

For a T1 departure, provide the collection address, flight and check-in requirement. The pickup time is planned around that information and traffic conditions relevant to the requested date. If the itinerary includes another passenger or stop, add it before confirmation so the complete route is considered.

T2 international arrivals and departures

T2 handles international flights. International passengers may need time to complete immigration, baggage collection and biosecurity after landing, but no universal clearance time applies. Share the flight number and keep the passenger mobile available after arrival. The chauffeur meeting point is confirmed in the booking.

For an international departure, tell us the check-in requirement supplied for the flight, the starting address and all passenger and luggage details. The operations team can then plan the collection without relying on a generic journey-time statement.

T3 and T4 domestic transfers

T3 and T4 serve domestic flights and have their own passenger flows. Use the terminal shown for the flight when requesting the transfer. If the terminal or flight number changes, send the updated detail to the 24/7 operations desk so the pickup plan can be reviewed.

The booking confirmation identifies the meeting instruction. Travellers should keep the nominated mobile contact available after landing and advise the operations team if luggage or passenger requirements differ from the confirmed booking.

Avalon Airport transfers

Avalon Airport is also served and must be named separately from Melbourne Airport at Tullamarine. Direct bookings are available to Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, Torquay and the Surf Coast, Melbourne CBD and Melbourne's eastern suburbs, as well as other confirmed destinations.

Avalon uses a single terminal. Follow the meeting point confirmed in the booking and provide the flight, passenger contact, destination and luggage. A dedicated Avalon page explains the available destination and fleet planning in more detail.

Arriving at Melbourne Airport

When requesting an arrival, provide the airport, terminal, flight number, passenger name, mobile contact, destination, passenger count and luggage. Share any mobility aid, pram, instrument, sporting equipment or other oversized item before the vehicle is assigned.

The meeting point is recorded in the booking confirmation. After landing, follow that instruction and keep the nominated mobile available. If the flight number changes, contact operations on +61 400 202 330 with the new information so the arrival details remain current.

Departing for Melbourne Airport

For a departure, the pickup time is planned around the check-in requirement, start address, terminal and traffic conditions. Provide all stops and passenger collections when requesting the quote. This creates one complete itinerary rather than adding an unplanned stop during the transfer.

Operations are available 24/7, including early-morning departures. A departure booking should identify the correct airport because Melbourne Airport at Tullamarine and Avalon Airport are separate destinations.

Groups from twelve passengers and above

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter carries up to eleven passengers. A Minibus or Coach carries twelve to twenty-one passengers in one vehicle when it suits the declared luggage. This gives families, conference delegates, corporate teams, sporting teams and wedding guests an option beyond a small van.

Above twenty-one passengers, multiple vehicles can be coordinated as a convoy under one booking reference. Provide each flight, terminal, destination and passenger group, and nominate one organiser who can communicate the confirmed run sheet.

Corporate airport transport

Corporate airport travel can be arranged for individual passengers, visiting groups or repeat movements. The booking records the airport, terminal, passenger, contact, destination and vehicle class. Account arrangements are discussed from the organiser's stated requirements.

For account enquiries, contact +61 497 114 819. The operations desk remains available 24/7 on +61 400 202 330, and booking enquiries can also be sent to bookings@drivetoarrive.com.au.

Melbourne operator details and cover

Drive to Arrive Pty Ltd, ABN 13 636 578 937, is based at 83 Church Road, Doncaster VIC 3108. Established in 2007, the business provides Melbourne airport transport through a 24/7 operations line.

Each vehicle carries AUD $20M third-party liability cover. DriveToArrive also holds Melbourne Airport Landside Driver Authority and Landside Vehicle Authority, described here as Melbourne Airport ground-transport accreditations.

Choosing a vehicle class

The Melbourne fleet is presented by confirmed class and capacity: Executive Sedan for one to three passengers, Luxury SUV for one to four, Mercedes-Benz V-Class for up to seven, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for up to eleven, and Minibus or Coach for twelve to twenty-one.

Seat count is only one part of the selection. The booking should declare suitcases, carry-on bags, prams, mobility aids, instruments and sporting items. An oversized or unusually shaped item may require a different class even when the passenger group fits the seats.

Review the confirmed booking

Before travel, check the airport, terminal, flight number, passenger mobile, collection and destination addresses, stops, passenger count and luggage recorded in the booking. If a detail changes, contact the operations desk so the plan can be reviewed.

The booking confirmation is also where the terminal meeting point, vehicle class and price are recorded. This avoids relying on a previous airport trip or a general website statement when terminal arrangements or the itinerary differ.
