Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival Transfers 2026

Select BOOK NOW and send us your race day, pickup addresses, passenger numbers, luggage and return plans. Submitting the form is a quote request, not a confirmed reservation. Our team replies with pricing, vehicle availability and the booking arrangements for your itinerary, and your booking is confirmed once you accept.

We take transfer requests for Caulfield Guineas Day and Caulfield Cup Day at Caulfield Racecourse, Cox Plate Day at Flemington Racecourse, and the four Melbourne Cup Carnival days at Flemington: Victoria Derby Day (Saturday 31/10/2026), Melbourne Cup Day (Tuesday 03/11/2026), Oaks Day (Thursday 05/11/2026), Champions Stakes Day (Saturday 07/11/2026).

The Cox Plate is scheduled for Saturday 24/10/2026 at Flemington Racecourse. The move away from Moonee Valley applies in 2026 while The Valley is redeveloped, so transport should be booked for Flemington rather than the usual venue.

Yes. Tell us your airport, flight number and scheduled arrival when you request a quote. Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) and Avalon Airport are different airports some distance apart, so please state which one you are flying into.

Yes. List every leg in one enquiry — for example airport to hotel, hotel to racecourse, racecourse to hotel and hotel to airport. Each leg is only included once it appears in your confirmed itinerary.

Yes. Home pickups across Melbourne can be arranged. Include the full pickup address and every passenger collection point so the itinerary and timing can be planned.

Yes. A return can be booked as a scheduled pickup at an agreed time, or you can book hourly, as-directed hire so the vehicle stays available while your plans change. Tell us which suits your day when you enquire.

Your drop-off and return meeting arrangements are confirmed for your race day, vehicle and itinerary. Racecourse access and traffic controls can affect the closest legal collection point, so allow time to leave your hospitality area and reach the agreed meeting location.

Yes. Tell us the number of passengers and how many pickup points you have. Groups can travel in a people mover, an executive van or a minibus, and larger parties can use several coordinated vehicles under one booking reference.

You can request a vehicle category, such as a people mover or executive van. We confirm the vehicle category available for your booking; a specific make or model is not guaranteed.

Yes. We arrange transport for clients, guests and staff, including multiple pickups and account bookings through our corporate accounts. Transport is arranged separately from race tickets and hospitality packages.

Yes. Put every race day in one enquiry and we will quote them together. This is common for guests attending several Melbourne Cup Carnival days.

Every Spring Racing transfer is quoted for your itinerary. The price depends on the vehicle category, pickup points, distances, time required and return arrangements, and is confirmed with you before you book.

Only if you book hourly, as-directed hire. A scheduled transfer covers the legs and times in your itinerary; hourly hire keeps the vehicle and chauffeur available for the booked period.

Please ask before booking. Tell us the age and number of children travelling so child restraint requirements can be confirmed for your vehicle before the booking is finalised.

Send your request as soon as your race days and travel plans are known, particularly for groups, several race days or larger vehicles. Availability is confirmed when we reply to your request.

Yes, if the airport leg is included in your itinerary. Give us your departure airport and flight time so the leg can be planned with enough time between the racecourse and the airport.

No. Drive To Arrive provides transport only. Race tickets, memberships and hospitality are booked separately with the event organisers or your hospitality provider.
