Serene Charters runs private Melbourne Airport transfers with a professional driver, in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class.

We monitor your flight, so the driver works from your actual landing time. The fare, the pickup time and the meeting point are confirmed in writing before the day.
Airport transfers receive one all-inclusive written quote based on the route, vehicle, passengers, luggage, child seats and pickup needs. The confirmed total includes GST, tolls, airport access, parking and agreed waiting.
Per vehicle · Agreed in writing
These examples apply only to the journeys and conditions below. Send your trip details to confirm availability, vehicle fit and your written total.
A$149
One-way departure · total including GST
One CBD address to one Melbourne Airport terminal. Two adults, two standard suitcases and two small carry-on bags, subject to fit. Up to ten minutes at the agreed pickup. Airport greeting is not needed for this departure.
A$169
One-way arrival · total including GST
One Melbourne Airport domestic terminal to one CBD address. Two adults, two standard suitcases and two small carry-on bags, subject to fit. Flight monitoring, inside-terminal greeting requested in advance and up to sixty minutes from actual landing are included. Delays or changed flight details require communication and confirmation of the revised collection arrangement. International arrivals are individually quoted; this is not their fare.
Who it is for
We monitor your flight, so the driver works from your actual landing time. Send the flight number when you book, and your driver meets you at the pickup point for your terminal given in your confirmation. Your driver holds Melbourne Airport LDA/LVA permits.
We set the pickup time from your flight, your terminal and your address, and confirm it in writing before the day. Early-morning and late-night flights are booked the same way.
Meet and greet inside the terminal with a name board is available on request, with its cost included in the confirmed total. Add it when you book: it suits first-time visitors, older travellers and anyone arriving with children. Without it, you meet your driver at the pickup point in your confirmation.
Up to 7 passengers travel together in one vehicle. Child seats are A$15 per seat, booked ahead, capped at A$30 per booking and included in the agreed total before confirmation. Send each child's age, height and weight. With every seat taken the luggage space is limited, so tell us the number and size of bags, prams and anything bulky, and we confirm the fit in the written quote. Larger groups are quoted separately, with the vehicle and passenger capacity excluding the driver confirmed before booking. A wheelchair-accessible van is arranged separately; we confirm the occupied wheelchair, passenger and luggage fit for the actual vehicle.
Meeting points
Your written confirmation gives the pickup point for your terminal. Before the day we set up a WhatsApp group with you, your driver and us, with the driver's name and mobile. When you have your bags, message the group and your driver tells you where to walk. Prefer to be met inside the terminal? Meet and greet inside the terminal with a name board is available on request, with its cost included in the confirmed total.
T1 (Qantas domestic), T2 (international) and T3 (Virgin Australia domestic) share one building. Your confirmation gives the pickup point for your terminal, so check which one your flight uses.
Passport control, bags and the biosecurity check come first. We monitor your flight, so the driver works from your actual landing time. Message the WhatsApp group when you are through the arrivals hall.
T4 (Jetstar and others) is next door to the main terminal building, with its own transport hub. Its pickup point is not the same as for T1 to T3, so your confirmation gives it separately.
Your route
Airport transfers receive one all-inclusive written quote based on the route, vehicle, passengers, luggage, child seats and pickup needs. Send both addresses, your travel time and pickup needs so we can confirm the total before you book.
