A chauffeur job in Melbourne costs $89 one-way in a Mercedes E-Class. We dispatch the chauffeur 25 minutes ahead so they're in your forecourt before you finish locking the front door, then run direct to the terminal via the fastest freeway route. Tolls and gratuity included.
A chauffeur job is one of the trips where every variable matters: who picks you up, what car arrives, when they get there, what the bill ends up at. Rideshare optimises one of those (the ‘when'); the others are best-effort. A chauffeur service optimises all four, deliberately. TransfersX charges from $89 for that optimisation and considers the job badly done if any of the four slips.
Melbourne is Australia's chauffeur capital. Three major event seasons (AFL, Australian Open, Spring Racing) layer over a 5-million-person metropolitan area, two passenger airports, and a CBD with the highest hotel-room density in the country. Demand for a real chauffeur service — vetted drivers, controlled fleet, fixed fares — runs all year, not just on event weekends.
Driver pulls into your forecourt or kerb — not a building two doors down. Gate code, intercom, side entrance — specify in the booking and the chauffeur handles it without you coming out.
Melbourne pickups dispatch 25 minutes ahead of the slot so the chauffeur is in your forecourt before you finish locking up. Live flight tracking on the inbound — the airport pickup time moves with your arrival, no fee.
The one-way around the village strip. The school-drop chaos at 8:30am. The fastest exit from the main road versus the diversion. Our chauffeurs aren't guessing — they drive this corridor weekly.
"Booked TransfersX for a 5:30am airport run after burning through three Uber cancellations in a week. The driver was waiting in the building forecourt at 5:25am. Fare to the cent matched the quote. New Mercedes, calm driver, no chat. Bookmarked."
— Anjali, South Yarra"Booked a Mornington Peninsula day for six of us. V-Class, three cellar doors, lunch at Polperro, then the hot springs. Driver waited at each, didn't rush us, drove home along the coast road. Booking again in the spring for the same loop."
— Frances, Brighton"Hourly chauffeur for a day at the F1. Driver collected us from the apartment, dropped at the right gate, picked us up at the same place each night across three days. Fixed hourly rate, no surge despite the Grand Prix premium everywhere else."

TransfersX runs the chauffeur job job with a single point of accountability. The chauffeur is on payroll, not on a marketplace rating system. The vehicle is owned by TransfersX, not rented in from a third-party fleet. The booking is managed by the team that took it. If something goes wrong — and it rarely does — there's a phone number that picks up and a team that takes responsibility, not a help-page that auto-replies.
The Mercedes E-Class is the right tool for the chauffeur job job. Mercedes E-Class for the business sedan workhorse trips, S-Class and BMW 7 Series for the premium executive runs, V-Class for the 7-seat group runs, Range Rover for the presentation jobs, Mercedes Sprinter for the 11-16 seat group transport. The vehicle class is locked at booking; if you booked a Mercedes E-Class, a Mercedes E-Class arrives.
From $89 all-inclusive, the chauffeur job job runs to a fixed-fare model that doesn't move. CityLink, EastLink and Sky tolls included. Fuel included. Gratuity included. GST included. The fare you accept at booking is the fare on the receipt. Corporate accounts get monthly tax-invoice settlement with single-line bookings and the trip reference; suitable for travel-policy reporting without per-trip reconciliation work.
Same-day chauffeur job bookings are usually accepted up to two hours before pickup, subject to fleet availability. WhatsApp +61 415 555 542 for last-minute requests; we'll confirm a chauffeur within 15 minutes or refund your card.
Yes. Meet-and-greet by name in arrivals (terminals T1 through T4 at MEL), luggage to the car, direct run back to Melbourne via the standard freeway route. Same fixed $89 fare. Flight is tracked: if the arrival shifts, the pickup time moves with it — no rebooking fee.
Melbourne to Melbourne Airport is 22 km via the major freeway route. Typical drive: 22-35 minutes off-peak, longer in Friday-evening peak. We dispatch the chauffeur to leave Melbourne 25 minutes before the slot to absorb traffic surprises.
Yes. Melbourne to Avalon (AVV) runs $209-$269 depending on vehicle class. Avalon sits west of the city, so the drive is longer than the Tullamarine run from most suburbs and is quoted per route. Same flight tracking, same meet-and-greet, same fixed fare.
Yes. We carry rearward-facing (0-8 months), forward-facing (8 months-4 years) and booster seats (4-7 years) on request, free of charge. Specify in the booking notes; the driver fits the seats before pickup, not at the curb.
Anywhere in postcode 3000 — private residences, hotels, apartment buildings or street addresses. Door-to-door from the kerb or forecourt. Apartment buildings: the chauffeur waits with a discrete sign. Specify the address in the booking; gate code optional.
