For a transfer in Southbank, TransfersX allocates a Mercedes E-Class business sedan and a chauffeur in advance and holds both for the booking. Door-to-door from the address you give, luggage handled, fare locked at confirmation. From $119 including tolls, fuel, GST and gratuity.
A rideshare for a transfer 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 Southbank — a chauffeur is the considered choice. From $119, in a Mercedes E-Class business sedan, with a driver who knows the address before they hit the freeway.
Endpoint context: Rod Laver Arena — Melbourne Park centre court for the Australian Open and major concerts.
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 $119. Tolls included. Fuel included. Gratuity included. GST included. The fare you accept at booking is exactly what hits the receipt; not a cent more.
"We use TransfersX for client pickups out of Tullamarine. They've never been late once across about forty jobs. The drivers know how to behave around senior executives — quiet, presentable, not asking what do you do. Worth the premium over Uber Black easily."
— Daniel, Docklands"Use TransfersX for monthly Sydney trips. Pickup from our place by 4:45am, MEL by 5:20am, every time. The chauffeur knows the apartment building, the Mercedes is detailed every time, the fare is locked at booking. Best decision we made for the commute."
— Tania, North Melbourne"We're in an apartment building near Toorak Village with terrible kerbside access. Every Uber driver gets lost in the rear lane. TransfersX driver came on the intercom, was loaded and away in three minutes. I won't go back to rideshare for airport runs."
— Marcus, ToorakThe transfer dispatch standard at TransfersX: chauffeur leaves 25 minutes ahead, Mercedes E-Class business sedan detailed before the job, route pre-checked against traffic and venue access, brief loaded into the driver's app. There is no ‘driver accepts the job and finds the address' phase — the address is in the brief at dispatch. The chauffeur arrives ready to load, not asking for directions.
The Mercedes E-Class business sedan for the job is one of a controlled fleet, not the closest available vehicle. The class is locked at booking; if you booked a Mercedes E-Class business sedan, a Mercedes E-Class business sedan arrives. The vehicle has been detailed before the job, fuelled, pressure-checked, refilled with bottled water, and reviewed for cleanliness. If there's a defect the depot finds before dispatch, a replacement vehicle leaves — not the customer's problem.
Fares are fixed at booking from $119. The booking quote includes all CityLink and EastLink tolls, fuel, gratuity and GST. The fare doesn't surge, doesn't shift, doesn't get amended at the end of the trip. Corporate accounts billed monthly with a clean tax-invoice line per booking and the booking reference. Payment by Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, AmEx through Stripe — processed at booking, settled at confirmation.
Yes. We carry rearward-facing (0-8 months), forward-facing (8 months-4 years) and booster seats (4-7 years) on request, free of charge. Specify in the booking notes; the driver fits the seats before pickup, not at the curb.
Anywhere in postcode 3000 — private residences, hotels, apartment buildings or street addresses. Door-to-door from the kerb or forecourt. Apartment buildings: the chauffeur waits with a discrete sign. Specify the address in the booking; gate code optional.
For most one-off trips Uber works. For early-morning flights, late-night arrivals, business meetings, larger groups, or anything where the timing matters, a chauffeur is the better choice — flight tracking, no surge, guaranteed Mercedes-class vehicle, vetted driver.
Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard and American Express via Stripe. Corporate accounts can be invoiced monthly. Payment is taken at booking (fare locked); no card swipe at the end of the trip.
