Door-to-terminal from Newtown
We collect from your Newtown address and drive to whichever terminal is on your ticket — Melbourne (~82 km) or Avalon (~24 km).
Newtown is a Greater Geelong pickup point for door-to-door airport transfers. Open Melbourne or Avalon below for kilometres, fare and leave-home notes from the same address.
From Newtown, Avalon is the shorter hop by about 58 km — handy when your airline sits there. Melbourne still wins when you need internationals or broader connections.
Ring-road and Princes Freeway links make either terminal realistic — Avalon for short domestics, Melbourne when the ticket needs the full network.
On the road
Avalon timing
Avalon sits about 24 km away — close enough for routine Jetstar trips without a long Surf Coast detour. Leave-home timing still hinges on check-in rather than pure drive minutes.
Full route guide: Newtown to Avalon Airport transfers.
Melbourne timing
Newtown to Tullamarine is roughly 82 km. Most runs join the ring-road quickly from Aphrasia or Shannon, then stay on the Princes Freeway corridor into the airport precinct.

What matters here
- Newtown sit in Greater Geelong where curb space and long-stay parking are limited — a booked transfer keeps luggage off the street scramble.
- Quiet tree-lined streets close to town still lack easy airport parking for multi-day trips.
- Travellers get CBD proximity without a hotel shuttle shuffle or Mercer Street scramble with cases.
