Transfer from Melbourne CBD to Melbourne Airport (MEL): fixed fare $245, drive 22-35 minutes, vehicle a black Mercedes E-Class business sedan. Meet-and-greet inside arrivals on the return. Free 60-minute wait after your flight lands; no charge if your arrival shifts.
Why book a chauffeur instead of a rideshare for a Melbourne CBD transfer? Three working answers: the Mercedes E-Class business sedan actually arrives (vehicle class is held for the booking), the price doesn't move (fixed at $245+ from booking), the driver is the same person from pickup to drop-off (no driver app-rating shuffle). Those three are the entire reason the chauffeur model exists.
Endpoint context: Geelong - Victoria's second city, 75 km southwest of Melbourne on Corio Bay. Drive: 60-85 minutes via the Princes Freeway.
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.
"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."
- Vivienne, Toorak"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, ToorakTransfersX runs the transfer 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 business sedan is the right tool for the transfer 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 business sedan, a Mercedes E-Class business sedan arrives.
From $245 all-inclusive, the transfer 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 CBD 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.
