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.
The brief sentence: TransfersX is a chauffeur service. The fuller version: every chauffeur job job in Melbourne is dispatched as a vetted driver in a held vehicle on a fixed fare from $89. 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.
Why book a real chauffeur in Melbourne instead of premium rideshare? Three working answers. The vehicle class is held for your booking (you booked a Mercedes E-Class, you get a Mercedes E-Class). The fare doesn't move between booking and receipt. The driver is vetted, suited and on payroll — not a marketplace allocation. For chauffeur job, those three matter.
Airport pickups track your flight and arrive 10 minutes before scheduled landing. Melbourne pickups are dispatched 25 minutes ahead of the slot. Punctuality is the discipline behind every other promise.
Your quote is the price you pay. No surge in rain, no rate change on Grand Final night, no surprise tolls. The number on the booking is the number on the receipt.
Every vehicle is owned or leased by us. Less than three years old. Black on black. Detailed before every job. No subcontracting to a stranger's car.
"Booked TransfersX for an airport pickup for my mother from Singapore. The chauffeur met her in arrivals with the sign, took her bag, drove her back to our place. She arrived at the door looking like she'd been treated like family. Will use again."
— Kerryn, Hampton"Booked the V-Class for me, my wife, three kids and four large suitcases out of Tullamarine. Driver fitted the booster and the rearward seat before he arrived — not at the curb in front of a queue. Loading took two minutes. Worth it."
— Hassan, Hawthorn"Use TransfersX for my parents' airport runs when they visit. The chauffeur model matters at their age: a suited driver, a clean Mercedes, help with the luggage, conversation only if they want it. The standard has been the same every booking."

For a chauffeur job job, TransfersX dispatches a chauffeur who knows the Melbourne corridors. The one-way around the local village strip, the school-drop chaos pattern at 8:30am, the quickest exit onto the major road versus the diversion, the parking arrangements at the relevant venues. Local knowledge is built into every quote; we don't outsource the job to a driver who's never been to the address before.
The Mercedes E-Class for your booking is one of a controlled fleet. Mercedes E-Class for business sedans, S-Class and BMW 7 Series for premium sedans, Mercedes V-Class for 7-seat people movers, Mercedes Sprinter for 11- and 16-seat groups, Range Rover and BMW X7 for luxury SUVs. Each vehicle is owned or leased by TransfersX, detailed before every job, less than three years old, finished black on black to one standard.
Booking and payment are handled at confirmation. Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, American Express via Stripe. The fare is locked the moment you confirm; the receipt matches the booking exactly. Tolls included, fuel included, gratuity included, GST included, no surprise charges, no card swipe at the end of the trip. Corporate accounts invoiced monthly with a single line per trip.
We track your flight in real time. If your arrival shifts — earlier or later — the pickup time moves with it. No rebooking, no extra fee. The first 60 minutes of waiting after landing are included free. After 60 minutes, waiting time is $35/hr pro-rata.
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.

For most one-off trips Uber works. For early-morning flights, late-night arrivals, business meetings, larger groups, or anything where the timing matters, a chauffeur is the better choice — flight tracking, no surge, guaranteed Mercedes-class vehicle, vetted driver.
