How the run actually goes
From the kerb at MEL to your door at Melbourne CBD.
The four standard segments of the run. Off-peak vs peak time ranges baked into the fare.
Meet your driver at MEL
Meet-and-greet is available on every pre-booked airport pickup: choose it when you book, add A$35 to the fare, and your driver waits inside the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name. Without it, your driver meets you at the airport's public pickup zone at no extra cost — near the Parkroyal for T1, T2 and T3, or on Level 1 at T4. Either way, the exact meet point depends on your terminal and is sent to you before pickup, with an SMS when the driver is on site.

Where we drop in the CBD
Every corner of the CBD grid, door to door.
From the Paris end of Collins Street to the Docklands waterfront, we drop at hotel concierge desks and apartment lobbies right across the city grid. There's no airport train link to the CBD as of 2026, so a door-to-door pickup skips the Southern Cross transfer entirely.
Collins Street
The city's premier commercial spine — major bank HQs, the 'Paris end' fashion houses and grand heritage towers.
Southbank
Riverside precinct on the south bank of the Yarra, home to the Arts Precinct and a promenade of restaurants and bars.
Docklands
Waterfront district on the CBD's western edge with Marvel Stadium, The District shopping and harbour-side apartments.
Crown Riverside
The Crown Melbourne complex — casino, hotels, theatres and a long dining strip stretched along the river.
Flinders Street precinct
The CBD's main transit hub around the landmark station, opposite Federation Square and the eastern city grid.
Carlton edge
Just north of the grid — Lygon Street's Italian eateries, the Royal Exhibition Building and the University of Melbourne.
