Transfer from Melbourne CBD is a pre-booked, fixed-fare run in a Mercedes E-Class business sedan with a vetted chauffeur. The fare is agreed before you travel and does not move for traffic, weather or time of day. From $245, tolls and gratuity included.
A transfer is one of the trips where every variable matters: who picks you up, what car arrives, when they get there, what the bill ends up at. Rideshare optimises one of those (the ‘when'); the others are best-effort. A chauffeur service optimises all four, deliberately. TransfersX charges from $245 for that optimisation and considers the job badly done if any of the four slips.
Endpoint context: Yarra Valley — Wine region 60 km northeast of Melbourne anchored by Healesville, Yarra Glen and Coldstream. Drive: 60-80 minutes from the CBD.
Every chauffeur on the roster is vetted, licensed, jacket-and-tie. No marketplace rating economy. No driver swap mid-job. They wear a dark suit and they know how to behave around senior clients.
Mercedes E-Class, S-Class, V-Class, Range Rover, BMW 7 Series. All under three years old. All owned or leased by us. All finished black on black. All detailed before every job.
From $245. Tolls included. Fuel included. Gratuity included. GST included. The fare you accept at booking is exactly what hits the receipt; not a cent more.
"Switched from Uber Black to TransfersX three months ago and haven't looked back. The vehicle standard is the same standard every time. The driver is the same calibre every time. The fare matches the booking every time. It's the consistency I was missing."
— Jonathan, Kew"Six-hour delay on QF94 from LA, I got off at midnight expecting to be re-booking everything. Driver had tracked the whole thing. Sign with my name. New Mercedes E-Class, water in the cup-holder, calm drive into the CBD. Best airport pickup I've had in five years."
— Tom, East Melbourne"Booked the V-Class for me, my wife, three kids and four large suitcases out of Tullamarine. Driver fitted the booster and the rearward seat before he arrived — not at the curb in front of a queue. Loading took two minutes. Worth it."
— Hassan, HawthornTransfersX runs transfer jobs in Melbourne CBD on the chauffeur model end-to-end. The booking is taken by the team, briefed to the chauffeur, allocated to a Mercedes E-Class business sedan, 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 $245 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.

Yes. Melbourne CBD to Avalon (AVV) runs $209-$269 depending on vehicle class. Avalon sits west of the city, so the drive is longer than the Tullamarine run from most suburbs and is quoted per route. Same flight tracking, same meet-and-greet, same fixed fare.
We track your flight in real time. If your arrival shifts — earlier or later — the pickup time moves with it. No rebooking, no extra fee. The first 60 minutes of waiting after landing are included free. After 60 minutes, waiting time is $35/hr pro-rata.
