- Renee, Brighton"Booked TransfersX for chemotherapy transfers to Peter Mac. The chauffeur was patient and silent. The car was warm. The booking was on time every appointment. For a hard run of months, it was the part of the day I didn't have to think about."

- David, HawthornTransfersX is built around the chauffeur model end-to-end for chauffeur for visitor bookings in Southbank. The booking system briefs the chauffeur in advance. The Mercedes E-Class business sedan is allocated to the job and held for the window. The driver leaves the depot 25 minutes ahead of pickup. The cabin is detailed, stocked, climate-controlled. The fare is locked at $89+ at confirmation. There is no variable that floats; the entire job is controlled.
Drivers are on payroll, vetted, in jacket and tie. They're briefed on the day's plan, the customer's preferences if we have them, and the venue's access arrangements where relevant. They wait between stops on hourly bookings without per-stop fees. They handle luggage. They open doors. They drive smoothly. The chauffeur model is the entire reason these defaults are the defaults rather than upsells.
