Departing from Melbourne Airport

Getting to Melbourne Airport

The cheapest way to get from the city to the airport is with the bus. Routes 478, 479, 901 all go past the transport hub by Terminal 4. Tickets cost AUD 4-6 and travel time is around 70 to 90 minutes.

The SkyBus is the best option if your flight is late at night or early in the morning. It runs 24 hours a day from the CBD to the airport. A one-way ticket will cost AUD 19, and the bus leaves every 10 minutes.

A taxi to the airport should cost between AUD 55-65 depending on the traffic. Your driver will be able to drop you off along Departure Drive or by the T4 Transport Hub zone.

If you want to park your car at Melbourne Airport, you'll have three options to choose from. The Value Car Park is the best choice for budget travellers, while the Long Term Park and the premium Terminal Car Park are ideal for travellers who don't mind paying a little bit extra for added convenience.

Arriving at Hobart Airport

Getting from Hobart Airport to Your Hotel

The taxi ranks are located outside of the terminal building. A trip into town will take about 20 minutes and costs around AUD 35 depending on traffic. If there are no taxis available when you arrive, head back into the terminal and go to the baggage carousels. Here you'll find the numbers for other cab companies that you can phone to request a ride.

If you don't want to pay for a taxi and want to go directly to your hotel, book a spot on the Tasmanian Redline City Hotels Shuttle bus. It won't be the quickest option, but your fare will end up cheaper.

For car, campervan or motorhome rentals head to the arrivals area. You'll find seven car rental companies that can help you with your travelling needs while in Hobart.
