Great Ocean Road Tour from South Yarra: pickup at your address, then a chauffeur-driven Mercedes V-Class or Range Rover for 8-10 hours through the route you've planned, then home. From $1295. Designed so no one in the party has to drive home after lunch.
South Yarra runs on postcode 3141. Chapel Street, Como Centre, premium apartments and the Toorak Road shopping strip. 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 27 km. Off-peak that is about 27 minutes; in the Friday-evening crawl it is closer to 40. Avalon sits 61 km away. Pickup times are set from the worse number, which is why the chauffeur is usually early. Neighbouring chauffeur transfers in Toorak, chauffeur transfers in Prahran and chauffeur transfers in Windsor are covered by the same drivers under the same fixed-fare structure.
The brief sentence: TransfersX is a chauffeur service. The fuller version: every great ocean road tour job in South Yarra is dispatched as a vetted driver in a held vehicle on a fixed fare from $1295. 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.
South Yarra context: Chapel Street, Como Centre, premium apartments and the Toorak Road shopping strip.
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 or Range Rover, you get a Mercedes V-Class or Range Rover — not ‘whatever turned up'. The vehicle class is locked at booking and the driver is dispatched specifically to your job.
The fare from $1295 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 TransfersX for a winery day for ten of us in two V-Classes. Both drivers were professional, both vehicles clean, both fares matched the booking. The day ran better than we'd hoped because nobody had to think about the driving. Recommended."
— Olivia, Malvern"Phillip Island Penguin Parade run for visiting family. V-Class, evening run from Carlton, parade tickets booked separately. Driver had a calm route plan around the school-holiday traffic and got us home at midnight without a complaint from the kids."
— Liam, Carlton"Wedding-anniversary winery tour, Yarra Valley. V-Class, eight hours, four cellar doors and a long lunch at Innocent Bystander. Chauffeur was patient, knowledgeable, completely sober. The opposite of a typical tour-bus experience."
— Hannah, MalvernEvery great ocean road tour dispatch in South Yarra starts with the same checklist: chauffeur briefed, vehicle detailed, fare confirmed, route reviewed. The Mercedes V-Class or Range Rover leaves the depot 25 minutes ahead of the pickup slot. Airport bookings carry the flight number; the chauffeur tracks the arrival in real time. Hourly and multi-stop bookings hold the chauffeur and the vehicle for the full window, with no driver swap mid-job.
Vehicle standard is non-negotiable. The Mercedes V-Class or Range Rover arrives detailed, fuelled, climate-controlled, with bottled water and an umbrella in the cabin. The chauffeur is in jacket and tie. The vehicle is finished black on black like every other in the fleet. There are no logos, no rideshare badges, no marketplace stickers. The car looks like a chauffeur car because it is one.

Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, AmEx all accepted at booking via Stripe.
No — lunch is at your discretion and paid direct to the restaurant. We're happy to recommend lunch venues along the route and book a table for you in advance. The chauffeur waits during lunch as part of the day.
