Airport Transfer Enquiry

Airport Transfers — FAQs

Do you offer private airport transfers?

The minibus and driver are reserved exclusively for your group, with no shared passengers.


How is pricing calculated?

You’ll receive a fixed, all‑inclusive quote before booking. Pricing is based on driving time, distance and luggage requirements. We also factor in:

  • Repositioning time from Doncaster
  • Driver hours
  • Fuel
  • Cleaning
  • Tolls (if applicable)


Is a private minibus airport transfer good value for families and groups?

Yes — especially when travelling with luggage. Taxis and rideshares often arrive in small cars, meaning groups are split across multiple vehicles and end up paying more. With Ticket 2 Ride, you get one spacious, reliable minibus with guaranteed pickup, a professional driver and room for prams, car seats and suitcases.


Passenger and luggage capacity

Our minibuses can seat up to 11 people, but capacity depends on luggage volume. Common items include:

  • Large suitcases
  • Carry‑ons
  • Prams
  • Golf bags
  • Instruments


Tell us what you’re travelling with and we’ll confirm the right setup.


Can you do multiple pickups or drop‑offs?

Yes — additional stops can be added. They may increase travel time and cost, and we’ll confirm everything upfront.


Operating Hours

We operate 7am–9pm for safe, reliable daytime transfers. Bookings outside these hours may attract a surcharge and are subject to limited availability.


Do you offer return transfers?

Yes — most groups book both legs together. Provide your flight number and arrival time and we’ll organise the return trip.


Do you track flight arrivals?

Yes — we monitor your flight and adjust pickup times for standard delays at no extra charge.


Meeting point at Melbourne Airport

For airport pickups, your confirmation includes the exact meeting point directly outside of the terminals, with:

  • Clear instructions
  • Direct driver contact
  • No wandering around the airport


Travelling with children

We provide two ISOFIX seats at no extra charge. Seats can be forward or rear‑facing depending on age. Booster seats (4–6yo) are also available.


What if our plans change?

Contact us as soon as possible. We’ll adjust your booking where availability allows.


Do you offer shared or per‑seat airport transfers?

No. All services are private group charters.


Can you guarantee arrival times at the airport?

We recommend safe pickup times based on your suburb and flight, but Melbourne traffic can be unpredictable. Travel insurance is recommended for unexpected delays.
