TransfersX runs hourly chauffeur in Melbourne from $95 per hour. The Mercedes E-Class or S-Class stays with your booking; the chauffeur waits between stops or runs you between them. Fixed fare, no surge, three-hour minimum on weekends.
A rideshare for an hourly chauffeur is fine when reliability is the main thing you can negotiate around. For the trips where reliability is the actual point — airport runs to the airport, board meetings, weddings, anything time-sensitive in Melbourne — a chauffeur is the considered choice. From $95, in a Mercedes E-Class or S-Class, with a driver who knows the address before they hit the freeway.
VIPs booking hourly chauffeurs most often value: vehicle class that matches the occasion, a chauffeur briefed for the persona, a fare that doesn't move between booking and receipt. The hourly chauffeur package at TransfersX is built around exactly that.
The job is to stand by for as long as the day takes. For VIP and executive clients that shapes the brief more than the vehicle does: the chauffeur is told who is travelling, what they are carrying and what has to happen at the other end, and is allocated to the booking in advance rather than assigned on the morning.
The default vehicle is the Mercedes E-Class or S-Class, changed on request where the group or the luggage calls for something larger. Fares start at $95 and are fixed when you confirm — tolls, fuel, waiting time, GST and gratuity are inside that figure, and nothing is collected at the end of the trip.
Every airport booking is matched to your flight number. If your arrival shifts, pickup time shifts with it — automatically, with no rebooking fee. The first hour of waiting is free.
Your driver waits inside arrivals with a sign carrying your name — not at the curb, not in the kiss-and-fly. They handle the luggage to the car. You walk out the door, you're in the back seat.
No surge in storms or peak hour. The fare you see at booking is the receipt. No tap-the-card at the end of the ride, no ‘tolls extra' small print.
"Used the hourly service for a photo shoot: four locations, equipment in the boot, a schedule that kept moving. The driver went with it and never once mentioned the time. Exactly what booking by the hour is supposed to buy."
— Elise, Fitzroy"Six hours on a Thursday doing three site inspections out past Sunshine and back. Driver waited at every one, kept the plans and hard hats in the boot, and had the car cool each time we came out. Booked the same arrangement the following week."
— Dimitri, Kew"Booked hourly for auction day, three properties across the eastern suburbs. The car parked and waited while we went through each one. Being able to leave paperwork and coats in the back seat made the day far less painful."
— Cameron, ToorakTransfersX runs hourly chauffeur jobs in Melbourne on the chauffeur model end-to-end. The booking is taken by the team, briefed to the chauffeur, allocated to a Mercedes E-Class or S-Class, dispatched 25 minutes ahead of the slot. The driver leaves with the address, the gate, the flight number, the special requests. The vehicle has been detailed that morning. The cabin is climate-controlled, stocked with bottled water and an umbrella, music off by default.
Drivers are vetted, presented, and on payroll. Background-checked, professionally licensed, jacket-and-tie standard. The chauffeur the customer sees is the chauffeur the company employs, not a marketplace allocation. Same chauffeur for the duration of the booking; no driver swaps mid-day. Briefed in advance on the day's run sheet on hourly and multi-stop bookings; briefed on the flight and arrival on airport runs.
Pricing is locked from $95 at booking and includes CityLink, EastLink, fuel, gratuity and GST. The fare doesn't move between booking and receipt; there is no surge in any condition. Corporate accounts settle monthly with a clean tax-invoice line per booking. Payment by Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard or AmEx at booking. There is nothing to pay at the end of the trip; the driver doesn't carry a card terminal.
Hourly Chauffeur from Melbourne starts at $95 per hour in a Mercedes E-Class or S-Class, three-hour minimum on weekdays, four-hour minimum on weekends. All-inclusive: tolls, fuel and gratuity in the hourly rate. Corporate accounts invoiced monthly.
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons people book by the hour. The vehicle stays with you for the window, so bags, shopping and equipment stay locked in the boot instead of being hauled between separate rides.
The Mercedes E-Class or S-Class is the default. A V-Class covers five to seven passengers, a Sprinter goes beyond that, and a Range Rover or S-Class is the choice where presentation matters. Vehicle class is fixed at booking, not decided on the day.
Yes. The vehicle is yours for the window, so the itinerary can change on the day. Ask the chauffeur to divert, add a stop, or wait somewhere longer. Nothing is charged per stop; only the total hours count.
Yes, where the roster allows. Tell us who you had and we allocate them again if they are free. Clients on standing bookings are matched to the same chauffeur as a matter of course, which saves re-explaining the routine.
Set up a standing booking via email or WhatsApp. Common patterns: weekly Tuesday/Thursday CBD meeting days, monthly all-day shopping, regular medical-transfer Mondays. We hold the vehicle and the chauffeur for the recurring slot.
