Great Ocean Road Tour starting in Docklands runs in a Mercedes V-Class people mover with a vetted chauffeur. The day is yours to design — we suggest a 4-5 stop itinerary on request. From $1295 for the day, up to 8 hours / 10 hours quoted on the day.
Docklands runs on postcode 3008. Waterfront precinct on the CBD's western edge with Marvel Stadium, the convention centre and high-rise apartments. 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.
Tullamarine is 20 km out, which runs 20 to 32 minutes depending on the hour; Avalon is 53 km and closer to 53 minutes. We dispatch against the slower end of that range rather than the optimistic one, so a bad run on the freeway costs you nothing. We work chauffeur transfers in Melbourne CBD, chauffeur transfers in Port Melbourne and chauffeur transfers in North Melbourne on the same roster, which matters on a day where the pickup and the drop sit in different suburbs.
There's a real difference between the chauffeur model and rideshare. Rideshare optimises for the fleet, not the passenger — cheapest car that's closest, dynamic pricing, swappable driver. Chauffeur optimises for the passenger: pre-assigned vehicle class, vetted driver, fixed fare, accountability. TransfersX is built on the chauffeur model: vetted drivers on payroll, controlled Mercedes-and-Range-Rover fleet under three years old, fixed fares from $1295+ confirmed at booking.
Docklands context: Waterfront precinct on the CBD's western edge with Marvel Stadium, the convention centre and high-rise apartments.
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.
Docklands 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.
"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, CBD"Booked a Great Ocean Road day for visiting in-laws. Range Rover, vetted chauffeur, eight hours on the road. Stops at Bells Beach, Lorne, the Twelve Apostles, Apollo Bay for lunch. Driver knew which lookout to stop at and when. They'll remember this trip."
— Greg, South Yarra"TransfersX for the annual board meeting offsite at the Yarra Valley. V-Class for eight people, driver knew the back-roads through the cellar-door route, dropped at the venue, collected the next day. Stress-free."
— Phillip, WilliamstownTransfersX is structured for the great ocean road tour job to be predictable. The chauffeur leaves the depot 25 minutes ahead of pickup. The Mercedes V-Class or Range Rover has been detailed that morning. The route is pre-planned. The fare is locked at $1295+ at booking. The dispatch system has the brief. If you've booked us before in Docklands, the team often knows your preference for music, temperature and conversation; we run a quiet, premium service by default.
Vehicle reliability is non-negotiable for the chauffeur model to work. Every Mercedes V-Class or Range Rover in the fleet is owned or leased by TransfersX, serviced on our schedule, replaced before three years, detailed before every job, finished black on black. We don't rent vehicles in for the day from a marketplace pool, and we don't subcontract bookings to an unknown operator. The vehicle that arrives is the vehicle we said you'd get.
Fares are fixed from $1295 and don't move. The booking quote is the receipt. CityLink tolls, EastLink tolls, Sky tolls (where applicable), fuel, gratuity and GST all bundled inside the rate. There is no surge in weather, in peak hour, on event nights, on Grand Final weekend. Corporate accounts billed monthly with a clean tax-invoice line per booking. Payment by Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, AmEx via Stripe at booking.
