A transfer in Southbank costs $89 one-way in a Mercedes E-Class business sedan. 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 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 $89, in a Mercedes E-Class business sedan, with a driver who knows the address before they hit the freeway.
Endpoint context: Avalon Airport - Melbourne's second airport, 55 km southwest near Geelong via the Princes Freeway. Single terminal serving Jetstar, AirAsia X and select carriers.
Same online booking flow at 4am as at 4pm. Live fare estimate. Apple Pay, Google Pay or card. Confirmation in your email within seconds. No phone tag, no ‘we'll call you back'.
Corporate accounts pay monthly with a single tax-invoice line per booking. No per-trip splits, no tipping reconciliation, no ‘driver receipt' photographs. Compliant for travel-policy reporting.
Our chauffeurs live where they drive. Southbank corridors, the one-way networks, the kiss-and-fly drop at the right terminal. Local knowledge is built into every quote.
"Use TransfersX for my parents' airport runs when they visit. The chauffeur model matters at their age: a suited driver, a clean Mercedes, help with the luggage, conversation only if they want it. The standard has been the same every booking."
- Damien, Sandringham"TransfersX for the Tullamarine run on Sunday mornings is now a habit. Same Mercedes E-Class standard, same suited driver, same fixed fare. The whole point of paying a premium over rideshare is that the experience doesn't surprise you any more."
- Henry, Glen Iris"Booked TransfersX for a 5:30am airport run after burning through three Uber cancellations in a week. The driver was waiting in the building forecourt at 5:25am. Fare to the cent matched the quote. New Mercedes, calm driver, no chat. Bookmarked."
- Anjali, South YarraEvery transfer booking with TransfersX dispatches a Mercedes E-Class business sedan 25 minutes ahead of the slot. The chauffeur leaves the depot fully briefed: the address, the gate code, the building's quirks, the flight number on airport jobs. We never call the customer for instructions five minutes before pickup - the brief lives in the booking and the chauffeur has read it.
The vehicle is detailed before every job. Tyres pressure-checked, interior wiped, water in the cabin, umbrella in the back seat. Mercedes E-Class, S-Class, V-Class, Range Rover - each fleet vehicle is on a service schedule we control, not rented in from a marketplace pool. Less than three years old, every one, finished black on black to a single standard.
Fares are locked at booking and don't move. $89 from the moment you confirm the trip. CityLink tolls, fuel, gratuity, GST - all inside the fare. No tap-the-card at the end of the trip; the receipt matches the booking. For corporate accounts, monthly tax invoices with a single line per trip, ready for travel-policy reporting.
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 Southbank 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. Southbank 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.
