Melbourne Airport lies in the suburb of Tullamarine, about 23km to the city’s northwest. That places it about 25km away from Southbank. Getting from Melbourne Airport to Southbank is straightforward, thanks to Melbourne’s efficient network of public transport. However, with public transport, the journey is not always quick. In fact, it can sometimes involve numerous services, long waits, and tiresome walks from bus stops to train stations, to your end destination.
Taxis are more direct, but on a busy day at Melbourne Airport there can be a sizeable wait at the taxi queue. Combined with the metered pricing model they adopt, that can mean that your fees don’t match the service you receive. At Car Australia, our affordable pricing combined with the top tier service of our professional chauffeurs and the comfort of our luxury vehicle, makes for the best transport from Melbourne Airport to Southbank.

Pick Up and Other Information
Trip times
On average, it takes about 45 minutes to get from Melbourne Airport to Southbank. The trip takes you through the heart of Melbourne, including some of the busiest roads in Australia. That means congestion is commonplace, and during peak hour traffic periods, delays are possible. However, they’re rarely significant delays, with peak hour travel times rarely exceeding 50 minutes. When there’s not a lot of activity on the road, the trip can take as few as 40 minutes. That’s something we often experience late at night, in the course of our 24 hours service. So if you’re time poor, or travelling on a strict schedule, we would suggest avoiding peak hour wherever possible.

Southbank with Car Australia
South bank is an inner urban suburb of Melbourne, which, as its name suggests, is on the southern bank of the Yarra River, just a stone’s throw from the city itself. To the east of Southbank is the iconic St Kilda Beach, and the many entertainment, dining, and coastal precincts that it has to offer. Southbank has many of the same attractions on offer, but is best known as the primary business centre in Melbourne. But for visitors, the Southbank promenade offers more enjoyment, with weekly arts and crafts markets and plenty of attractive green space. See it all with a door to door transfer from Car Australia.
