Melbourne Airport sits about 23km north west of the city centre, which means that your trip to Richmond will cover about 30km. To travel that distance, you can choose from trains, buses, trams, taxis, and even hire cars, but the best option is a direct transfer from Car Australia. Public transport in one of Australia’s busiest cities can be hard to navigate, and it’s easy to find yourself walking long distances between bus stops, train stations, and tram stops. Hire cars are even more challenging, with Melbourne’s notorious traffic conditions serving as a constant source of stress, along with the added cost of parking. Taxis are a better option, but their prices often fail to match to service you receive, and you can be left queuing in the taxi rank for long periods of time. With a direct transfer, you simply step out of the arrivals hall at Melbourne Airport, and into the comfort of a waiting limousines. There’s no wait, no fuss, and the highest standard of service.
