Door pickups
Leave Ocean Grove for the right airport
We collect from your Ocean Grove address and drive to whichever terminal is on your ticket — Melbourne (~105 km) or Avalon (~45 km).
Ocean Grove travellers book fixed-fare pickups toward Tullamarine (~105 km) or Avalon (~45 km). Use the airport cards below to open the matching guide.
From Ocean Grove, Avalon is the shorter hop by about 60 km — handy when your airline sits there. Melbourne still wins when you need internationals or broader connections.
Peninsula exits into Geelong come first; summer weekends and school traffic stretch the leave-home window more than a map suggests.
On the road
Avalon timing
Avalon is roughly 45 km — still a solid drive when Jetstar is your airline. Pre-booked leave times beat gambling on peak-season peninsula congestion with a boot full of beach luggage.

Melbourne timing
Ocean Grove to Tullamarine is about 105 km. Summer weekends add significant time on the peninsula exits before you even reach the Geelong freeways toward Melbourne Airport.

Local tip: During peak holiday weekends, book early and share your exact stay address (not just ‘Ocean Grove’).
Peak traffic — Melbourne: In peak traffic allow about 20–40 min extra — peninsula exits into Geelong plus Princes Freeway / Tullamarine approaches get busy weekday mornings, Friday evenings and school-holiday Sundays.
Peak traffic — Avalon: In peak traffic allow about 10–20 min extra for Avalon — coastal/peninsula roads into Geelong first, then a shorter industrial corridor. Holiday weekends add the most time.
