Tips from local experts:
- If you have young children, ask your airline to tag one carry-on with essentials (snacks, change of clothes, wipes) so you can leave the carousel quickly.
- Connect to free airport Wi‑Fi to receive the driver's WhatsApp/Viber message with exact pick-up instructions — international arrivals often need this.
- If you need a quick restroom or changing table: head to the Arrivals level near the baggage reclaim — signage indicates family facilities.
Meet Kojii Transport driver at Departure Drive / Charter lane (Melbourne Airport)
Locate the Kojii driver who will be waiting at the Departure Drive / charter lane area with a Kojii sign. Driver will help load luggage and secure any requested baby/booster seats before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to confirm the vehicle type (Mercedes V-Class / Sprinter) before you board so you can fit strollers or prams comfortably.
- Have the lead passenger’s contact number handy — drivers often message on arrival; keep your phone actively connected to mobile data/Wi‑Fi.
- If you requested a baby/booster seat at booking, check it’s installed and latched before settling children into the vehicle.
Private transfer: Melbourne Airport → Melbourne CBD (Federation Square area drop-off)
Comfortable private drive into the CBD. Typical journey time to central Melbourne (Federation Square) is ~43 minutes but can vary with traffic — we allow a short buffer in this schedule.
Tips from local experts:
- For families, request a drop-off point near your hotel entrance or a quieter side-street — drivers can usually stop close to the lobby for easier stroller access.
- Bring a light blanket for small children; airport-to-city trips in spring mornings/evenings can feel cool in the shade.
- If anyone naps in the car, ask the driver to reduce abrupt braking and take the smoother route (usually via Tullamarine Freeway → Citylink).
Hotel check-in & settle in the Melbourne CBD
Check in at your CBD hotel or apartment, unpack essentials and take a short family rest. If your room isn't ready, the driver can usually keep luggage secure while you grab a nearby snack or change facilities.

Tips from local experts:
- If the hotel cannot immediately release a family room, ask them to store luggage and request early check-in where possible — many Melbourne hotels will accommodate families when informed.
- Look for hotels with ground-floor or lift access for easier stroller movement; mention you have a stroller/large luggage when checking in.
- Need a quick family-friendly meal? Ask reception for recommendations for nearby cafés with high chairs and kids' menus — staff often have fast options suited for tired children.
