Getting to and from Avalon Airport
Avalon Airport sits about 55km and roughly 50 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, on the way toward Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula — considerably further from the city than Melbourne (Tullamarine) Airport, and served by fewer transport options as a result. It’s primarily a Jetstar domestic hub and occasional home to the Australian International Airshow, meaning passenger volumes are lower and more concentrated around specific flight schedules than at the main airport.
Because Avalon sits well outside inner Melbourne, arriving passengers without a pre-arranged transfer can find themselves with genuinely limited onward options — exactly the gap a confirmed, pre-booked taxi is built to close.
Why book Melbourne Premium Cab Service here
Avalon’s distance from the city and thinner transport supply make pre-booking more important here than at Melbourne’s main airport. We track your flight in real time so early or delayed arrivals don’t leave you stranded, and we run fixed fares for the full trip into the CBD or onward to any of our other regions.
