Where Port Melbourne Sits and How Far It Is from Melbourne Airport
Port Melbourne lies about five kilometres south-west of the CBD, within the City of Port Phillip. Port Phillip forms its southern shore, while the Yarra and the docks frame its western edge.
From Tullamarine, the drive covers roughly 24 to 27 kilometres. Naturally, the exact distance depends on whether you are heading to the Bay Street precinct, the beach end or the Fishermans Bend border.
Typical travel times look like this:
- Off-peak, mid-morning or late evening: 26 to 32 minutes
- Standard weekday conditions: 32 to 44 minutes
- Weekday morning peak, 7am to 9am inbound: 44 to 56 minutes
- Ferry sailing times and summer weekends: add 15 to 25 minutes
Most runs leave the airport on the Tullamarine Freeway, join CityLink, then cross the Bolte Bridge and take the West Gate approach toward Port Melbourne. After the final turn, the car reaches your address within minutes.
In short, Port Melbourne is a fairly quick bayside run. However, the ferry schedule is the real variable, since terminal traffic peaks around sailings. So a private airport transfers Port Melbourne booking is always timed to the day’s conditions.

Travelling With Children
Heading off from Port Melbourne with little ones? In Victoria, every child up to seven years of age must be in an approved restraint, so we make sure the right seat is ready for your trip. Child seats are available for a small extra charge, and we fit them for you. Rear-facing capsules suit newborns and babies, forward-facing harness seats work well for toddlers, and boosters cover older children who still need a bit of support. Each restraint is fitted at our depot, then checked again at pick-up. When you book, let us know your child’s age and rough weight so we get the right seat the first time. Prams and beach gear are worth a mention too. A stroller plus several suitcases won’t fit in a sedan boot, so we’d rather send a people mover than have you rearranging bags at the kerb.
