Journey: Melbourne Airport to Elwood

Elwood is an inner city suburb, about eight kilometres to the south of Melbourne CBD. Its proximity to the CBD, and a number of other attraction, make Elwood a popular destination for locals, tourists, and business travellers alike. But, with Melbourne Airport lying 23km to the CBD’s northwest, getting to Elwood means spending money on a taxi or hire car, or travelling on public transport. Getting to Elwood from Melbourne Airport using public transport can take a while. It requires different bus lines, and it can even work out to be expensive if you’re travelling in a group.

On the other hand, you can travel with a Hughes transfer from Melbourne Airport to Elwood. At Hughes, we offer door to door service for an affordable price. We operate all day and all night, and offer a variety of premium and luxury vehicles. Better still, for groups, our prices can actually work out to be cheaper per person than a lot of alternatives!

Elwood – Here’s what to do before you leave to Melbourne Airport

Elwood was formerly a coastal swamp, prior to the introduction of the Elwood canal. Following that, it was developed into a premier seaside suburb, with its own beach. During summer, locals and tourists alike flock to Elwood beach, where the conditions are excellent for everything from kitesurfing to cycling. Elwood is also held in high esteem for its leafy streets, and Edwardian-meets-interwar architecture. To see it all, and more, you’ll need reliable transport. And that’s where we can help. Book a Hughes transfer, and enjoy comfortable transport, when and where you need it.
