People Mover Chauffeur from Richmond to Melbourne Airport (MEL): fixed fare $169, drive 26-38 minutes, vehicle a black People Mover (Mercedes V-Class (7-seat configuration)). Meet-and-greet inside arrivals on the return. Free 60-minute wait after your flight lands; no charge if your arrival shifts.
An honest comparison: a chauffeur with People Mover in Richmond via rideshare costs roughly $40-80 less than the equivalent chauffeur booking. What the extra $40-ish gets you is reliability (the car will be there), specificity (the People Mover (Mercedes V-Class (7-seat configuration)), not whatever turned up), accountability (a vetted driver on payroll, not on a marketplace rating), and a fixed fare regardless of weather or time of day. That trade is worth making for any trip that matters.
The People Mover (Mercedes V-Class (7-seat configuration)) seats 7 passengers and 6 bags. Richmond context: Bridge Road, the Yarra River bend and the MCG end of Punt Road.
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.
"Wedding-anniversary winery tour, Yarra Valley. V-Class, eight hours, four cellar doors and a long lunch at Innocent Bystander. Chauffeur was patient, knowledgeable, completely sober. The opposite of a typical tour-bus experience."
- Hannah, Malvern"Phillip Island Penguin Parade run for visiting family. V-Class, evening run from Carlton, parade tickets booked separately. Driver had a calm route plan around the school-holiday traffic and got us home at midnight without a complaint from the kids."
- Liam, Carlton"Booked a Mornington Peninsula day for six of us. V-Class, three cellar doors, lunch at Polperro, then the hot springs. Driver waited at each, didn't rush us, drove home along the coast road. Booking again in the spring for the same loop."
- Frances, BrightonThe chauffeur on a chauffeur with People Mover 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 People Mover (Mercedes V-Class (7-seat configuration)), a People Mover (Mercedes V-Class (7-seat configuration)) 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. Your chauffeur's name, vehicle and registration are sent about two hours before pickup. WhatsApp +61 415 555 542 if anything changes mid-booking - not a chat-bot, the team that runs your job.
Anywhere in postcode 3121 - 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.

Yes. Many Richmond 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.
