Melbourne Airport minibus transfers

Travelling as a group? A private minibus is the easiest way between Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) or Avalon Airport and your hotel. Your driver tracks your flight, meets you on arrival and loads the luggage – luggage trailers are available on request for bigger groups. See Melbourne airport transfers for more.

Popular Melbourne minibus trips

Some of the trips our Melbourne minibuses do most often:

• Yarra Valley wineries – about 1–1.5 hours from the CBD; your driver waits between cellar doors
• Mornington Peninsula – beaches, hot springs and wineries, about 1.5 hours away
• Phillip Island – the Penguin Parade and wildlife, about 2 hours away
• Great Ocean Road – a full-day charter to the Twelve Apostles
• Sport and events – the MCG, Marvel Stadium, Rod Laver Arena and Flemington Racecourse

Pick the vehicle by group size – every booking includes a professional, accredited driver:

• Christmas parties, birthdays and bucks and hens nights
• Corporate events, conferences and client shuttles
• School excursions and sporting teams

What affects the price?

• Group size and vehicle – a 12 seater costs less than a 24 seater, and a minibus less than a coach.
• Distance and duration – a short transfer, a return trip or a full-day charter.
• Waiting time – whether the driver waits with the group or drops off and comes back.
• Date and time – late nights, weekends, public holidays and big event days are in higher demand.
• Extra stops – multiple pick-up points or stops along the way.

We had a small bus for a staff outing. Our driver William arrived early, was very friendly and plenty of communication was prior to date of ride. The bus was clean, William was on time, which made for a relaxing experience.

I booked for a (mature) bucks party day of activities and cannot recommend them enough. Great communication before the day, the driver was early, he was flexible with some mid journey detours and was very professional. Great overall price for the day as-well. 100% happy and would recommend.

We booked a mini bus to take us to and from the Anzac Day March in Melbourne. It all went very well even with different drop off and pick up points. The driver, Mus, was excellent and very helpful. Elaine Towers, Secretary, 7th Battalion AIF (1939-45) Association.

Worst bus experience of me life. Unfortunately, the air conditioning was not working on both the trip to and from the event. On the return journey, temperatures were in the mid-30s, which made the situation particularly uncomfortable. I politely asked the driver if the air conditioning could be turned on, and he mentioned it would start working once the bus was in motion. However, after we began driving, it still did not work. As a result, passengers were left feeling extremely hot and sweaty. At this point we all started taking layers off, it was a bloody sauna in the bus. This situation felt unsafe, especially considering we were returning from a Golden Plains where most of us may already be fatigued or dehydrated. Additionally, we noticed the bus did not appear to have been properly cleaned, as there were leftover McDonald’s bags from the initial pickup. I wanted to bring this to your attention, as it significantly impacted our experience.

We used this company for our visitors from abroad to attend the wedding functions. Tony (one of the drivers) was always punctual and flexible, making it a seamless experience for us to use. We want to thank the whole team for the exceptional service and we highly recommend this to anyone seeking shuttle service!

We hired a bus for a corporate event and had an excellent experience with this company! From start to finish, everything was smooth, seamless, and professional. Our driver, Isaac, was punctual, friendly, and accommodating, making the trip enjoyable for everyone. The bus was spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and communication was outstanding throughout. We highly recommend this service for any group travel or event — reliable, efficient, and great value for money. We’ll definitely be booking again!

I didn’t use their services but had organised it on behalf of my family for an interstate day trip. The feedback I got was that the trip went very smoothly and the driver, Kevin, was very lovely and accommodating. My older relatives were impressed with the good price as they had previously used other transport companies and compared it to this one. We will continue to use Group Transport Australia for any future trips 🙂 10/10!

We chose Group Transport Australia to transport our wedding guests from our ceremony to reception spaces. Paul was very communicative and upfront with prices, and made it easy to amend group numbers and get a smaller bus when we got our RSVPs back. Thank you, Paul!

We used Group Transport Australia for a large bus for guests on our wedding day. Paul and the team were extremely easy to deal with prior to the day and the service on the day was fantastic and went off without a hitch. The bus was clean and on time and well priced for the number of people transported. I would recommend using Group Transport Australia to anyone who needs to hire a bus for an occasion!

Hands down the best company I have used for transport! Paul & Danny made organising a bus for 24 people, a breeze. Communication was extremely efficient, they were easily adaptable & happily accomodating to any requests. GTA were one of the most affordable companies in SA we found, with no sacrifice to the care & buses they provided. Will be using again! Don’t think twice - book!

The price was what drew me to book with Group Transport Australia, initially. After receiving a quote promptly, I experienced great communication and flexibility with organising a bus for my event, as I had not yet locked in a destinations at the time of paying the deposit. On the day of my event, our driver Cassie took great care of us! Overall, I’d highly recommend booking with GTA.

As the owner of Gold Coast Wine Tours, using a reliable service that brings our same 5 Star experience to our guests is crucial. We have used Group Transport Australia for over a year now, and their service is first class! Super reliable and amazing Team to deal with. We will continue to use your services. Thank you

Can’t rate the service and delivery of this company enough! Much more affordable then the usual transport companies and the service 110% better then all previous experiences. Our driver Niall was so accommodating, flexible and just a top bloke. He really made our day with his easy going attitude and being so understanding when we were running late. Really great driver! Thanks for making our day so easy!

We have hired the Coach for 34-49 seats for 3 days in Tasmania. We had an excellent experience with Group Transport Australia. The Bus was clean and on time. Communication was great; we were informed about the driver and contact details the day before the trip. So very happy with the service.

We booked with group transport Australia for our wedding yesterday and I have to say it was a breeze. Communication with the agent Paul was smooth with no issues, the driver they provided was absolutely great, the driver didn't mind going the longer route to get to our destination, because the quicker route was not necessary safe. I commend the driver for his patience with us and being very accommodating. I would definitely book with group transport again
