An hourly chauffeur in Mornington Peninsula books a chauffeur and a Mercedes E-Class or S-Class for a window of your choosing — three-hour minimum, $95 per hour. The driver stays with the booking: standby between stops, drive when you're ready, no surge if the day runs late.
Mornington Peninsula is quoted per journey rather than at a kilometre rate, because the drive changes character with the traffic and the time of year. The figure agreed at booking is the figure on the receipt.
It is 89 km from Mornington Peninsula to Melbourne Airport, typically 85 to 105 minutes, and 123 km to Avalon at around 110 to 140. Those are figures from the jobs we actually run, not a mapping estimate taken at midnight.
Why book a chauffeur instead of a rideshare for a Mornington Peninsula hourly chauffeur? Three working answers: the Mercedes E-Class or S-Class actually arrives (vehicle class is held for the booking), the price doesn't move (fixed at $95+ from booking), the driver is the same person from pickup to drop-off (no driver app-rating shuffle). Those three are the entire reason the chauffeur model exists.

"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"Ten hours on a Saturday for a family event. Pickups from three houses, the ceremony, the reception, then everyone home. One Sprinter, one driver, one invoice, and far simpler than co-ordinating five separate cars."
— Raj, Point Cook"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, KewThe chauffeur on an hourly chauffeur booking is in jacket and tie, briefed in advance, dispatched specifically to your job. There's no driver-app rating shuffle, no marketplace allocation; the driver who pulls up is the driver you booked. Same person from pickup to drop-off; on multi-stop bookings, same person all day. Stand-by between stops is included in the rate; no idling fee, no per-stop fee.
Vehicle class is guaranteed by booking. If you booked a Mercedes E-Class or S-Class, a Mercedes E-Class or S-Class arrives — not whatever the closest car happened to be. The vehicle has been detailed that morning, refuelled, pressure-checked, and reviewed for cleanliness before it leaves the depot. The chauffeur signs off on the vehicle before the booking; if there's a defect we send a replacement, not the customer's problem.
Communication is handled by the booking, not by the customer chasing the driver. Confirmation lands in your email within seconds of booking. A reminder fires 24 hours and 2 hours before pickup. Live tracking on the chauffeur's progress to the pickup is shared with the customer if requested. WhatsApp +61 415 555 542 if anything changes mid-booking — not a chat-bot, the team that runs your job.
There is no cut-off. Bookings running past midnight are routine around events and long dinners, and the rate does not change after hours. Late finishes are easier to staff with notice, so flag the expected end time when you book.
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.
Usually, once the day runs past three or four legs. Four point-to-point bookings around Mornington Peninsula generally cost more than a four-hour booking at $95 an hour, and the hourly version keeps one driver and your bags in the car throughout.
No. Waiting is what an hourly booking buys. Driving or parked outside a meeting, the rate is the same $95 per hour. There is no idling surcharge, no per-stop fee and no penalty for a slow lunch.
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.
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.
