Why International Students Choose Our Airport Transfer
Victoria welcomes over 330,000 international students each year, contributing $8.4 billion to the state's education export sector. Melbourne is consistently ranked among the world's best cities for students — but arriving for the first time can be overwhelming. After a long international flight, the last thing you need is to figure out unfamiliar public transport with heavy luggage at midnight.
SkyBus might seem like the budget option, but it only takes you to Southern Cross Station — then you're left navigating trams and trains with suitcases to reach your university or accommodation. Our fixed-price student airport transfer takes you directly from Melbourne Airport to your front door. The price you see is the price you pay, with no surge pricing, no meter anxiety, and no hidden fees. Your driver will even help with your luggage.
Whether you're arriving for the February intake (the largest semester start) or July mid-year intake, we provide reliable 24/7 transfers to every Melbourne university campus and student accommodation suburb. Pre-book from your home country and arrive with one less thing to worry about.

Frequently Asked Questions — Student Airport Transfers
Can I book before I arrive in Australia?
Absolutely. Our online booking system is available 24/7 from anywhere in the world. Most international students book their airport transfer before leaving their home country. You will receive instant confirmation via email with all your booking details and driver information, giving you peace of mind before you even board your flight.
What if my flight arrives late at night?
Our service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all public holidays. Many international flights arrive late at night, when Victorian Tariff 2 rates apply — increasing the flagfall and per-kilometre charge. We use the same regulated CPV rates, but we quote your exact fare upfront when you book, so you know exactly what you will pay before you even board your flight.
How much luggage can I bring?
Our sedan vehicles comfortably fit 2-3 large suitcases plus carry-on bags, which is perfect for most students. If you are bringing extra luggage — common when moving to a new country — our maxi cab option accommodates up to 8 large suitcases. Your driver will assist with loading and unloading at both ends.
Do you offer transfers from Avalon Airport too?
Yes, we provide fixed-price transfers from both Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) and Avalon Airport to all Melbourne suburbs and university campuses. If you are flying with Jetstar to Avalon Airport, simply select Avalon Airport when booking. Fares from Avalon Airport differ due to the longer distance to most Melbourne destinations.
How does payment work for international students?
Payment is made directly to your driver at the end of the trip. We accept cash (Australian dollars, surcharge-free), Visa, Mastercard, and EFTPOS. There is no prepayment required when booking. This is convenient for students who may not yet have an Australian bank account set up upon arrival.
