How much does shuttle software cost in Melbourne?

Shuttle software in Melbourne costs $99–$349 a month flat with a one-time setup fee of $299–$699 and 0% booking commission. Shuttle.Software covers Melbourne Tullamarine (MEL) and Avalon (AVV) arrivals, hotel shuttles, cruise port transfers, corporate contracts and group bookings on one dispatch board, and operators go live in 3–5 working days.

Melbourne operators run five different jobs off one fleet: MEL and AVV airport transfers, hotel shuttles for properties in the CBD, Southbank, St Kilda and Docklands, cruise port transfers to Station Pier in Port Melbourne, corporate transportation for CBD offices, Monash and Clayton employers on staff-transport runs, and group transportation for the Australian Open, Grand Prix, Melbourne Cup and conference blocks. Shuttle.Software treats each as its own bookable product with its own rates, capacity rules and landing page, while dispatch, driver app, live flight tracking and invoicing stay in one place. Payments settle in AUD, taxes are applied per pickup location, and accounts are billed monthly rather than per booking.

Five services Melbourne operators run on one system

Airport transfers in Melbourne

Live arrival tracking for Melbourne Tullamarine (MEL) and Avalon (AVV). When an inbound slips, the pickup time, driver manifest and passenger SMS update automatically. Sell per seat on a shared van or per vehicle for private jobs, with terminal-specific meeting-point instructions sent to every passenger.

Hotel shuttles in Melbourne

Fixed-headway loops and on-demand pickups for properties across the CBD, Southbank, St Kilda and Docklands. Front desk gets its own login to book a guest in seconds, guests track the vehicle on a branded page with no app download, and each property is invoiced monthly on its agreed rate.

Cruise port transfers in Melbourne

Sailing-day transfers to Station Pier in Port Melbourne. Hard boarding cut-offs, luggage counts, group references and ship-arrival surges are handled as scheduled departures rather than individual jobs, so a turnaround day does not need a dispatcher on the phone.

Corporate transportation in Melbourne

Contracted work for CBD offices, Monash and Clayton employers on staff-transport runs: account logins, agreed rate cards, cost centres, purchase-order references, on-time-arrival reporting and one consolidated monthly invoice instead of a card charge per ride.

Group transportation in Melbourne

Group bookings for the Australian Open, Grand Prix, Melbourne Cup and conference blocks. One reference holds every passenger, vehicles are allocated by seat count and luggage, multi-vehicle convoys share a manifest, and the organiser gets a single quote, a single payment link and a single passenger list.

What Melbourne shuttle operators pay per month

Melbourne's event calendar is the demand curve — Grand Prix and Australian Open weeks need temporary drivers, extra vans and event-specific pickup zones, then it all comes back down. Vehicle-band pricing means you scale drivers and bookings without a plan change, at a flat monthly fee with 0% commission.

Frequently asked questions

How much does shuttle software cost in Melbourne?

$99 a month for 1–3 vehicles, $199 for 4–12 and $349 for 13–30, plus a one-time setup fee of $299, $499 or $699 depending on plan. There is 0% booking commission and no per-driver fee, so hiring for a busy season in Melbourne does not change your monthly bill.

Does it track flight arrivals at Melbourne Tullamarine (MEL) and Avalon (AVV)?

Yes. Arrivals at MEL, AVV are polled live across all carriers. A delayed inbound automatically re-times the pickup, updates the driver manifest and notifies the passenger — no dispatcher action needed.

Can I run hotel shuttles and airport transfers on the same system?

Yes. Hotel shuttle loops run on a timetable with headway monitoring and front-desk logins, while airport transfers run as booked jobs with flight tracking. Both sit on one dispatch board and one driver app, and hotels are invoiced monthly on their agreed rate.

Does it handle cruise port transfers in Melbourne?

Yes. Cruise-day transfers to Station Pier in Port Melbourne run as scheduled departures with hard boarding cut-offs, luggage counts, group references and ship-arrival surge capacity, on the same board as your airport work.

Can corporate clients book on account instead of paying by card?

Yes. Companies in Melbourne get their own login, agreed rates, cost-centre and purchase-order fields, booking approvals and one consolidated monthly invoice with on-time-arrival reporting attached.

How do group transportation bookings work?

The organiser books once. Shuttle.Software allocates vehicles by seat count and luggage, keeps every passenger under one reference across multiple vehicles, and issues a single quote, payment link and manifest — useful for the Australian Open, Grand Prix, Melbourne Cup and conference blocks.

3–5 working days. We load your zones, hotel list and rate table, migrate existing customers and reservations free of charge, install the booking widget on your website and onboard your drivers.
