Melbourne CBD and City Hotels
Staying in the centre of Melbourne? Our Melbourne CBD pickup service makes it easy to join a day tour without crossing the city before breakfast. We offer free pickup from selected hotels and agreed city meeting points, with small groups, local drivers and no hidden costs.
Pickup can be arranged around CBD hotels, Flinders Street Station, Southern Cross Station, Federation Square and Queen Victoria Market. When you enquire or book, tell us where you are staying and we will confirm the closest suitable pickup point. Some central streets have coach restrictions, so the confirmed meeting point may be a short, easy walk from your hotel lobby.
Allow about 15 to 30 minutes to reach the edge of Melbourne and begin most day tours, depending on traffic and the route for the day. Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island departures then continue into regional Victoria, while city, food and Puffing Billy experiences keep the first part of the day close to Melbourne’s landmarks. Your exact time is confirmed the evening before so we can work with traffic, weather and the day’s itinerary.
Please be ready 10 minutes early. The driver will contact you by SMS on the day, and we ask that your phone is switched on and easy to reach. CBD pickup is especially useful for visitors who want one simple base for several experiences: start with a Melbourne city tour, head west to the coast, or travel east towards the Dandenong Ranges without arranging separate transport.
