Highton to Melbourne Airport — timed from your door

Highton airport transfers with fixed fares to Tullamarine and Avalon — hillside homes, families and seniors who prefer not to drive the freeway. Guide distance about 86 km (80–95 min), from $186 sedan one-way.

Highton’s elevated streets and school-run traffic make timed door pickups more reliable than last-minute rideshare. We commonly run early red-eye Melbournes and Jetstar services from Avalon.
