Airport transfer tomorrow - help with heavy luggage (door to door)

$60

Brunswick West, Victoria

2nd May 2026

I'm moving interstate tomorrow, my flight is booked and I need assistance with my heavy luggage as I'm taking my whole life basically. There are 4 suitcases (2 large, 1 med, 1 small) and they're on wheels but I have a neck and head injury so cannot lift a thing. Really this an Uber driver who actually helps kind of task! My apartment here is also tricky to access - just the doors, lift, parking etc so I can't simply book an Uber because they don't help. Flight is at 3pm, I want to be at the airport at 1pm. And I need the tasker to actually park the car and help me get my suitcases into the airport because I can't lift them onto the trolley. I'll pay for all parking and any tolls (I don't think there are from here but I'd just pay on the spot if so) I checked Uber rates and it's $23 from here - so I'm really just tipping someone for being a decent human.
