Geelong · Torquay · Lorne · Apollo Bay · Great Ocean Road
Fixed-fare taxi transfers from Melbourne Airport to Geelong, the Surf Coast and all Great Ocean Road destinations. Whether you are arriving for business in Geelong, a surf trip to Torquay or a holiday along one of the world's most scenic coastal drives, we provide a direct, comfortable and reliable transfer from the terminal to your door.
Geelong is Victoria's second-largest city and a major destination in its own right — home to GMHBA Stadium, the Geelong Waterfront, Deakin University and a thriving arts and dining scene. For business travellers, conference delegates and Deakin students, a direct airport transfer to Geelong is the most practical way to arrive.
Beyond Geelong, the Great Ocean Road stretches 243 kilometres along one of the world's most celebrated coastal drives. From the surf breaks of Torquay and Bells Beach to the rainforest hinterland of the Otway Ranges, the charming town of Lorne and the dramatic Twelve Apostles near Apollo Bay — this region draws visitors from around the world.
For international visitors arriving at Melbourne Airport, a private taxi transfer is the most direct way to reach these destinations. There is no direct public transport from the airport to Geelong or the Great Ocean Road — a private transfer eliminates the need for city connections, SkyBus legs and regional bus timetables.
We also service Avalon Airport, located between Melbourne and Geelong, which is used by Jetstar for some domestic routes. If you are flying into Avalon, we can arrange transfers to Geelong and Surf Coast destinations from there as well.

The Great Ocean Road is one of the world's great scenic drives — 243 kilometres of spectacular coastal and hinterland scenery stretching from Torquay to Allansford. For international visitors and interstate travellers arriving at Melbourne Airport, a private taxi transfer is the most direct and comfortable way to reach destinations along the road.
One of the Great Ocean Road's most popular towns, Lorne sits at the foot of the Otway Ranges where the Erskine River meets the sea. The town is famous for its surf beach, the Lorne Pier to Pub swim, the Falls Festival and a vibrant café and restaurant scene. Holiday homes and holiday apartments make Lorne a popular destination for Melbourne families and interstate visitors.
Apollo Bay is a working fishing town and holiday destination at the western end of the Great Ocean Road's most scenic stretch. The town is the gateway to the Otway Ranges and the Great Otway National Park, with its ancient rainforests, waterfalls and glow-worm gullies. The Twelve Apostles are a further 90 km west along the road.
Anglesea and Aireys Inlet are popular holiday towns between Torquay and Lorne. Anglesea is known for its golf course — where kangaroos graze on the fairways — and its surf beach. Aireys Inlet is home to the iconic Split Point Lighthouse, which featured in the television series Round the Twist.
We do not yet have dedicated booking pages for Lorne, Apollo Bay, Anglesea and other Great Ocean Road destinations — but we absolutely service these areas. Contact us directly for a confirmed fixed fare to any Great Ocean Road address.
Avalon Airport is located approximately 55 km south-west of Melbourne CBD, between Melbourne and Geelong on the Princes Freeway. It is used by Jetstar for some domestic routes and is significantly closer to Geelong than Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine).
For travellers flying into Avalon and heading to Geelong, the Surf Coast or the Great Ocean Road, Avalon is the more convenient arrival point. We provide transfers from Avalon Airport to all Geelong and Surf Coast destinations.
Contact us for Avalon Airport fare information. Fares from Avalon to Geelong are typically lower than from Melbourne Airport due to the shorter distance.
If your flight options include Avalon, it is worth considering for Geelong and Surf Coast destinations. Contact us for fare comparisons between both airports.
The Geelong and Great Ocean Road region attracts visitors from around the world. Here is how we help different types of travellers.
The Great Ocean Road is one of Australia's most visited tourist attractions. International visitors arriving at Melbourne Airport often want to travel directly to Geelong or a Great Ocean Road destination without navigating public transport. A private taxi transfer is the most direct and comfortable option — your driver meets you at arrivals and takes you straight to your accommodation.
Geelong's Cunningham Pier is a cruise terminal used by ships including those operated by Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and others. Cruise passengers connecting between Melbourne Airport and Cunningham Pier use our service regularly. We accommodate large luggage volumes and can arrange vehicles with extra boot space.
Bells Beach, Jan Juc, Torquay and the broader Surf Coast attract surfers from around the world. Travelling with surfboards, wetsuits and gear makes public transport impractical. A private taxi with a large SUV or people mover accommodates boards and equipment comfortably.
Many Melbourne residents own holiday homes in Lorne, Anglesea, Aireys Inlet and Apollo Bay. Rather than driving from Melbourne Airport after a long flight, booking a taxi transfer means you arrive relaxed and ready to enjoy your holiday — not stressed from a long drive.
Longer transfers to Geelong and the Great Ocean Road require a little more planning. Here is what to consider.
Transfers to Lorne, Apollo Bay and other Great Ocean Road destinations are longer journeys that require advance planning. We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance, and earlier during peak holiday periods (Christmas, Easter, long weekends).
The drive from Melbourne Airport to Lorne takes approximately 2 hours in normal conditions. To Apollo Bay, allow 2.5 hours. For international arrivals, add 45–90 minutes for customs and baggage. Your driver will track your flight and adjust accordingly.
Holiday travellers often carry more luggage than business travellers. Surfboards, ski gear, prams and multiple suitcases require a larger vehicle. An SUV or people mover is recommended for most holiday transfers to the Great Ocean Road.
The Great Ocean Road can be affected by fog, rain and reduced visibility, particularly in winter and during storms. We monitor conditions and will advise if there are any concerns about your journey. Allow extra time during adverse weather.
If you are staying in Geelong or on the Great Ocean Road for a set period, booking your return airport transfer at the same time as your arrival transfer is strongly recommended, particularly during peak holiday periods when availability is limited.
If you are connecting between Melbourne Airport and Cunningham Pier for a cruise, allow extra time for luggage collection and any customs formalities. Contact us to discuss your specific cruise schedule and we will plan your transfer accordingly.
