A chauffeur job in Melbourne costs $89 one-way in a Mercedes E-Class. We dispatch the chauffeur 25 minutes ahead so they're in your forecourt before you finish locking the front door, then run direct to the terminal via the fastest freeway route. Tolls and gratuity included.
A chauffeur job 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 $89 for that optimisation and considers the job badly done if any of the four slips.
Melbourne is Australia's chauffeur capital. Three major event seasons (AFL, Australian Open, Spring Racing) layer over a 5-million-person metropolitan area, two passenger airports, and a CBD with the highest hotel-room density in the country. Demand for a real chauffeur service - vetted drivers, controlled fleet, fixed fares - runs all year, not just on event weekends.
Driver pulls into your forecourt or kerb - not a building two doors down. Gate code, intercom, side entrance - specify in the booking and the chauffeur handles it without you coming out.
Melbourne pickups dispatch 25 minutes ahead of the slot so the chauffeur is in your forecourt before you finish locking up. Live flight tracking on the inbound - the airport pickup time moves with your arrival, no fee.
The one-way around the village strip. The school-drop chaos at 8:30am. The fastest exit from the main road versus the diversion. Our chauffeurs aren't guessing - they drive this corridor weekly.
"Best airport transfer service I've used in Melbourne. Booked the night before for an early flight, driver was waiting in the lobby 25 minutes before the slot, Mercedes was spotless, fare matched the booking exactly. The flight tracking matters when you're cutting it fine."
- Priya, Melbourne CBD"Use TransfersX for every airport run out of our place on Orrong Road. The chauffeur is in the forecourt before I'm even downstairs with the bags. Black E-Class, immaculate, fare hasn't changed in eight months. Worth every dollar compared to the rideshare lottery."
- Catherine, Toorak"Booked TransfersX for my parents flying in from Singapore at 10pm on a Thursday. Driver met them in arrivals with their name, helped with luggage, drove them straight to our place. Mum texted me from the back seat: this is the cleanest car I've been in."

TransfersX runs the chauffeur job job with a single point of accountability. The chauffeur is on payroll, not on a marketplace rating system. The vehicle is owned by TransfersX, not rented in from a third-party fleet. The booking is managed by the team that took it. If something goes wrong - and it rarely does - there's a phone number that picks up and a team that takes responsibility, not a help-page that auto-replies.
The Mercedes E-Class is the right tool for the chauffeur job job. Mercedes E-Class for the business sedan workhorse trips, S-Class and BMW 7 Series for the premium executive runs, V-Class for the 7-seat group runs, Range Rover for the presentation jobs, Mercedes Sprinter for the 11-16 seat group transport. The vehicle class is locked at booking; if you booked a Mercedes E-Class, a Mercedes E-Class arrives.
From $89 all-inclusive, the chauffeur job job runs to a fixed-fare model that doesn't move. CityLink, EastLink and Sky tolls included. Fuel included. Gratuity included. GST included. The fare you accept at booking is the fare on the receipt. Corporate accounts get monthly tax-invoice settlement with single-line bookings and the trip reference; suitable for travel-policy reporting without per-trip reconciliation work.
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.
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.
Yes. Many Melbourne clients have a preferred driver. After your first booking, request the chauffeur's name in the booking notes and we'll match where possible (subject to roster availability). Corporate accounts with regular trips can request a fixed driver pairing.
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.
Yes. Melbourne to Avalon (AVV) is $209-$269 depending on vehicle class. Drive is 75-100 minutes via the Monash and Princes Freeway. Same flight-tracking, same meet-and-greet, same fixed-fare model as the Tullamarine run.
Yes. The fare you see at booking includes all CityLink tolls, fuel, GST and a standard chauffeur gratuity. There is nothing extra to pay at the end of the trip and no separate toll receipt to reconcile.
