Chauffeur for Families from Mentone is a pre-booked, fixed-fare run in a Mercedes V-Class people mover with a vetted chauffeur. The fare is agreed before you travel and does not move for traffic, weather or time of day. From $169, tolls and gratuity included.
The brief sentence: TransfersX is a chauffeur service. The fuller version: every chauffeur for family job in Mentone is dispatched as a vetted driver in a held vehicle on a fixed fare from $169. Compared to a rideshare booking that's structurally the same job, you trade $40-ish for: certainty on the vehicle, certainty on the driver, certainty on the fare. That trade is the entire premium proposition.
Bookings in Mentone (3194) are a steady part of the week. Mentone Parade, Mentone College, family-residential between Beaumaris and Cheltenham. We collect from private addresses, apartment lobbies and hotel forecourts alike, and the driver comes to the door rather than messaging from somewhere down the street.
Reckon on 45 to 60 minutes to Tullamarine across 45 km, or 68 km down to Avalon. The gap between the two ends of that range is the entire reason we leave early rather than on time. Adjacent coverage runs through chauffeur transfers in Beaumaris, Parkdale and Cheltenham — useful when the day involves more than one address.
The chauffeur doesn't ask ‘what do you do for work', doesn't run a chat radio, doesn't make eye contact in the rear-view unless you start a conversation. Silence is the default; conversation is on request.
When you book a Mercedes V-Class people mover, you get a Mercedes V-Class people mover — not ‘whatever turned up'. The vehicle class is locked at booking and the driver is dispatched specifically to your job.
The fare from $169 doesn't change if it rains, if traffic snarls on CityLink, if your flight is delayed three hours. The price is the price; the variance is on our side, not yours.
"Booked a V-Class for my mother and her sisters for the service. The driver helped each of them in and out, waited through the whole thing, and had the car at the door before we reached it. Quiet and decent about all of it."
— Stewart, Ivanhoe"Shepparton to Tullamarine with two of us and a lot of luggage. Quoted flat, arrived on the dot, and the driver loaded everything himself. Three hours each way and it still beat parking at the airport for a fortnight."
— Colin, Shepparton"Yarra Valley tour for four. V-Class for the day. Driver knew every cellar door we wanted, suggested two more we hadn't heard of, got us home before sundown. The fact that no one in the party had to be the designated driver was worth the price alone."
— Sandra, CBDFor chauffeur for family bookings out of Mentone, the chauffeur is dispatched 25 minutes ahead of the slot in a Mercedes V-Class people mover that has been detailed that morning. The driver knows the address — not a building two blocks away, the specific gate, intercom or kerb. Airport pickups track the flight; cruise transfers track the docking time; corporate runs are briefed on the building's parking arrangements. The brief lives in the booking.
The fleet standard is the entire premium proposition. Mercedes E-Class business sedans for the standard runs, S-Class and BMW 7 Series for the premium executive jobs, Mercedes V-Class for the 7-seat groups, Mercedes Sprinter for the 11-16 seat groups, Audi Q7, Mercedes GLE, Range Rover and BMW X7 for the SUV jobs. Each vehicle controlled, serviced, detailed and refreshed under three years old. The customer gets the Mercedes V-Class people mover they booked.

Yes. Mentone 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.
Anywhere in postcode 3194 — 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.
