One driver. Not a fleet.
The private driver for Melbourne's South East - covering Dandenong, Cranbourne, Berwick, Pakenham and Narre Warren.
You book me, you get me — every time. No call centre, no dispatch roulette. Fixed-price airport transfers across Melbourne, plus hourly private hire and corporate accounts for whatever else you need a driver for.
Priced by distance to the airport.
The closer your trip, the less you pay — simple as that. Calibrated against real fuel costs and today's Melbourne bowser prices, not a corporate rate card. You're paying less than a surged Uber, with none of the uncertainty.
Priced by trip distance to the airport — plus the full South East corridor, and Melbourne-wide on request. Bookings inside 48 hours may include a $10 short-notice fee.
Everything a rideshare app can't promise you.
You get me. Always.
Other "local" operators dispatch whoever's free from a pool of drivers. Book with me and I'm the one at your door — every trip, every time. Book again next month, next year — still me, no app required to make it happen.
Text me, not a call centre
No booking forms disappearing into a queue. Message me directly and I'll confirm your fixed price personally, usually within minutes.
Fixed fare, flight-tracked
No surge pricing. In April 2026 Uber expanded peak pricing into weekday morning commute hours and lifted Melbourne's minimum fare. A 5am airport run is exactly when that bites. My price is the published zone price, agreed before the trip. The only time it changes is on a Victorian public holiday, when a published 10% rate applies and you see it on your quote. I track your flight so a delay doesn't leave you stranded or you waiting on me.
Cheaper than leaving the car at the terminal
Parking at the terminal costs $434 for a week, and $868 for a fortnight. The premium car parks run to $728 a week.
A return transfer with me is $150 to $290, depending on your suburb - the full zone list is on the pricing page.
So for most trips you are paying less to be driven both ways than to leave the car behind. And you are not walking out to a cold car at midnight after fourteen hours in the air.
Parking prices are Melbourne Airport's published drive-up rates, effective 1 July 2026. The long-term Value car parks are cheaper than a transfer on a short trip - if you are away for three days and happy to take the shuttle, park there.
The pick-up zone now gives your lift five minutes
Melbourne Airport's free pick-up zone changed in October. Whoever is collecting you gets five minutes before they have to move on - which is not long when you are still waiting on a bag.
A booked driver is a different thing. I track your flight, I am there when you land, and if the plane is late I adjust. There is no circling, no phone calls from the kerb, and no one getting moved on while you queue at baggage claim.
Same driver every time. Price agreed before the trip.
Same driver, same standard — every trip on this record was driven by the person who'll pick you up, not a fleet average.
Local, accredited, and driving the corridor every day.
Kerbside is run by a single CPV-accredited driver based in Lyndhurst — not a call centre dispatching whoever's nearby. Every booking is with the same person, in the same clean, late-model vehicle. Working with Children Check accredited, for families who want that peace of mind.
The Haval H6 Ultra offers generous boot space for airport luggage, rear legroom for longer trips, and a quiet, comfortable cabin — built for the 45–65 minute run to either airport. Note: I don't currently carry a child car seat — happy to take families travelling with their own.
The details that actually matter.
Secure prepayment
Your fare is confirmed by text or email, then a secure payment link is sent — your booking is locked in once payment is received. No cash handled in the car, same safety approach as rideshare. Tax invoices provided for business travel – just ask.
Free waiting time
30 minutes free after your flight lands — plenty of time to clear customs and baggage. Running later than that? Text me and we'll sort it, no surprise fees.
Easy cancellation
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. Life happens — just text me and it's sorted, no forms, no fees.
Luggage space
600L boot space (1485L with the seats folded) — plenty of room for a family's worth of luggage, golf clubs, or oversized suitcases.
Booking notice
Standard pricing applies with 48+ hours' notice. Booking inside 48 hours may include a $10 short-notice fee — I'm balancing this with other work, and early notice helps guarantee your slot.
Public holidays
On Victorian public holidays a published 10% rate applies — that is the only time the price changes. There is no event pricing: race days, the Grand Prix and the Australian Open are charged at the normal published price. It never stacks with the short-notice fee. How it works out.
Melbourne Airport pickup change
Melbourne Airport changed how pickups and drop-offs work in October 2026. I'm already across the change — nothing you need to do differently, I track your flight and will meet you at the right spot.
Common questions.
How do I book a transfer with Kerbside?
Fill in the booking form, or text us your pickup, destination and time — no app, no call centre. We'll confirm within a few hours with a fixed price upfront.
Is your pricing fixed, or does it change with demand?
No surge pricing. In April 2026 Uber expanded peak pricing into weekday morning commute hours and lifted Melbourne's minimum fare. A 5am airport run is exactly when that bites. My price is the published zone price, agreed before the trip. The only time it changes is on a Victorian public holiday, when a published 10% rate applies and you see it on your quote.
Are your drivers accredited and insured?
Yes — CPV accredited, Working with Children Checked, and fully insured. You get the same driver every time, not whoever's rostered on.
South East Melbourne, door to door — Melbourne-wide on request.
I drive this corridor daily — South East Melbourne is home turf, from Dandenong through to Pakenham, Frankston and the Cardinia towns beyond. I also cover Melbourne-wide (bayside, inner city, south-east middle ring) on request — check your suburb for your fixed price.
Request a time.
Pick your preferred slot below — I'll come back to you within a few hours to confirm, or suggest an alternative if that time's taken. No bots, no fleet dispatch, just me.
This date is a Victorian public holiday, so the published 10% rate applies. It will be shown on your quote.
Seats up to 4 — for bigger groups we can arrange a second vehicle, just mention your group size when you message us.
Something went wrong sending that — please text me on 0416 279 393 and I'll sort it out.
Nothing is booked until I reply, confirm your fare, and payment is received. I'll get back to you by text or email, whichever suits — just tell me in the notes if you're overseas.
