A hourly chauffeur for Kensington clients: same chauffeur for the whole window, same Mercedes E-Class or S-Class, no driver-app-rating chat, no surge. From $95/hr.
There's a real difference between the chauffeur model and rideshare. Rideshare optimises for the fleet, not the passenger - cheapest car that's closest, dynamic pricing, swappable driver. Chauffeur optimises for the passenger: pre-assigned vehicle class, vetted driver, fixed fare, accountability. TransfersX is built on the chauffeur model: vetted drivers on payroll, controlled Mercedes-and-Range-Rover fleet under three years old, fixed fares from $95+ confirmed at booking.
Kensington context: Macaulay Road, Kensington Banks, family-residential between the CBD and Flemington.
Airport pickups track your flight and arrive 10 minutes before scheduled landing. Kensington pickups are dispatched 25 minutes ahead of the slot. Punctuality is the discipline behind every other promise.
Your quote is the price you pay. No surge in rain, no rate change on Grand Final night, no surprise tolls. The number on the booking is the number on the receipt.
Every vehicle is owned or leased by us. Less than three years old. Black on black. Detailed before every job. No subcontracting to a stranger's car.
"Booked four hours for a day of shopping and a long lunch. Same chauffeur for the whole booking, S-Class kept cool, driver brought the umbrella in the rain. The hourly model is the right answer when the day doesn't fit a fixed-fare booking."
- Pip, Brighton"Booked an hourly chauffeur for a Grand Prix day — circuit transfers between the F1 paddock and the hotel. Driver was on the phone every time we needed him, parked legally in the right precinct, and the fare didn't move from the booking quote."
- Will, Albert Park"Hourly chauffeur for a six-hour day across CBD meetings, then a dinner at Crown. Driver waited between every stop, knew the priority drop at Crown, didn't rush us. The hourly model is exactly what we needed; same chauffeur from start to end."
- Antonio, CarltonThe chauffeur on a 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. 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.
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.
