PRICING & TRANSPARENCY
Quotes with No hidden surprises!
One of the most common concerns travellers have — and rightfully so. Here’s how our pricing works.
Q How much does a chauffeur cost in Melbourne?
Pricing depends on vehicle class and distance. All prices include tolls and GST. Your confirmed quote at time of booking is your final price.
Q Are there hidden fees with Melbourne chauffeur services?
Not with us, and it’s one of the things we are most committed to, your quoted price is your final price.
Here’s what is always included in our quotes:
- All CityLink and EastLink tolls
- Airport parking and access fees
- Luggage assistance
- Meet and greet
- GST
- Fuel
- Professional Chauffeur
Always confirm that any chauffeur service you consider quotes a fully-inclusive price. Ask specifically about tolls, parking, and waiting fees before you commit.
Q Is a fixed-price chauffeur cheaper in Melbourne?
On standard days, other transport options may appear cheaper at face value. But the comparison changes significantly once you factor in additions such as surge pricing, unreliability, vehicle quality, and service quality.
During Melbourne events, peak hours, and bad weather, surge pricing can match or exceed a chauffeur rate without any guarantees.
