A chauffeur with Business Sedan in Essendon costs $89 one-way in a Business Sedan (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.
Three reasons an Essendon customer keeps booking TransfersX instead of going back to rideshare: the Business Sedan (Mercedes E-Class) is the same standard every time, the fare from $89 doesn't change between the booking and the receipt, the chauffeur is dispatched specifically to the job and not playing the platform's allocation game. That's the model. Everything else is consequence.
The Business Sedan (Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6) seats 3 passengers and 2 bags.
Essendon runs on postcode 3040. Mt Alexander Road, Essendon Fields private airport and the Tullamarine corridor. The chauffeur is dispatched to the exact address on the booking, gate code included where there is one, and waits there rather than circling the block.
Distance to Tullamarine is 14 km. Off-peak that is about 14 minutes; in the Friday-evening crawl it is closer to 26. Avalon sits 58 km away. Pickup times are set from the worse number, which is why the chauffeur is usually early. Adjacent coverage runs through chauffeur transfers in Ascot Vale, Moonee Ponds and Flemington — 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 Business Sedan (Mercedes E-Class), you get a Business Sedan (Mercedes E-Class) — not ‘whatever turned up'. The vehicle class is locked at booking and the driver is dispatched specifically to your job.
The fare from $89 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.
"TransfersX is the chauffeur company we recommend to friends now. Mercedes-clean cars, suited drivers, fares that match the booking. We've used them for airport runs, wedding shuttles and Christmas-day pickups. Every time, the same standard."
— Adrienne, Williamstown"Bendigo to the city for a wedding, then back at midnight with four of us. One Sprinter, one fare, no one had to stay sober for the drive. That last part was the whole reason we booked it."
— Hamish, Bendigo"We're in an apartment building near Toorak Village with terrible kerbside access. Every Uber driver gets lost in the rear lane. TransfersX driver came on the intercom, was loaded and away in three minutes. I won't go back to rideshare for airport runs."
— Marcus, ToorakFor a chauffeur with Business Sedan job, TransfersX dispatches a chauffeur who knows the Essendon 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.

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.
