Dawn departures
4am pickups without the stress
International check-in at Tullamarine and first-wave Jetstar from Avalon often mean leaving Geelong, Bellarine or the Surf Coast well before sunrise. We run 24/7 with a fixed fare confirmed before you sleep.
Share your flight number — we reverse-plan the pickup clock so you are not guessing a map ETA at midnight.
How it works
Night-before booking, dawn door pickup
- Book once the flight is set Lock pickup time the evening before — or earlier in peak holidays.
- Flight-shaped timing We work back from departure and check-in, not a vague “be there early”.
- No surge Early hours stay on the same fixed-fare model as daytime runs.
- Quiet door pickup Hotels, apartments and homes across our service area.
- Coastal & rural runs Fog, wildlife and empty highways are planned into the buffer — see Lorne to Melbourne or Torquay to Avalon.
