St Kilda is a beachside suburb on the southside of Melbourne. It’s approximately 30 kilometres away, which takes up to 50 minutes to drive during rush hour, or 30 minutes in off-peak hours.

Our goal is to make your journey as easy as possible, which is why we’ve made booking super simple using our mobile app, including kilometre-by-kilometre GPS tracking for your car.
We provide a variety of transport options to suit individual travellers or groups of up to 20, and our vehicles are environmentally-friendly, to ensure we’re doing our bit for the planet.

Pick Up and Other Information
Getting from St Kilda to Melbourne Airport
Driving from St Kilda to Melbourne Airport takes approximately 30 minutes outside of rush hour, and up to 50 minutes in the busiest periods. You can take a tram and buses if you prefer, but expect to travel for well over an hour. There’s also the airport’s Skybus, which travels directly to Carlisle Street in St Kilda every 30 minutes, and costs between $18 and $21.
Melbourne Airport terminals
There’s four Melbourne Airport terminals in total, which are a mixture of domestic and international.

Melbourne Airport parking and pick-up
There’s three different parking options available at Melbourne Airport:
Value Car Park—this is perfect for long term stays, and costs just $12 per day. It’s accessible via a free courtesy bus that runs from 4 am to 1 pm.
Terminal Car Park—this park is best for short hourly stops and costs $15 per hour (or free for 15 minutes).
Premium Car Park—this park is the most expensive of the three because it’s just a 1-minute walk to the terminals. It’s broken into self parking, business parking, and valet parking, all of which have their own rates (check out the airport’s website to get a quote).
Picking up and dropping off is easy too, with designated pick-up and drop-off zones outside the front of T2. There’s also a waiting zone on Mercer Drive, which you can stop at free for up to 30 minutes if your friends or family are a little delayed.
