Why Melbourne locals book us by the hour
Melbourne is a city of one-way streets, tram lanes and no-standing zones — the exact reason so many locals book us by the hour instead of parking-and-paying. Your chauffeur handles the loop from Chadstone to High Street Armadale to a 3pm consultant at Cabrini, and is waiting at the kerb when you walk out. No ticket, no tow, no rideshare hunt in the rain.

How hourly chauffeur hire works in Melbourne
Melbourne Hourly Chauffeur FAQs
How does hourly (as-directed) chauffeur hire work in Melbourne?
You book a chauffeur and vehicle for a block of hours instead of point-to-point. The same driver stays with you across every stop — Chadstone, Toorak, a medical appointment, a Southbank dinner — and waiting between stops is already included in the hourly rate.
What's the minimum booking?
Two hours is the standard Melbourne minimum. Most shopping-and-appointments days run 3–5 hours; full days are 8+ hours.
What's included in the hourly rate?
Chauffeur, vehicle, fuel, tolls, bottled water, phone chargers, and all waiting time between stops. You pay for time, not for individual trips or waiting minutes.
Can I change the itinerary mid-booking?
Yes — swap Chapel Street for Chadstone, add a Bridge Road detour, or extend by an hour on the spot. Call your driver directly or dispatch and we adjust.
Do you wait during my medical appointment at Epworth or Cabrini?
Yes. Waiting is included — your chauffeur stays close by, brings the car to the pickup point as you leave, and helps with mobility if needed.
Can I book a full day out to the Yarra Valley or Mornington Peninsula?
Yes. Full-day as-directed bookings to the Yarra Valley or Mornington Peninsula are popular — one Luxury SUV or Mercedes V-Class for the whole party across every cellar door.
What vehicle should I choose for a Chadstone or CBD shopping day?
An Executive Sedan works for one or two shoppers with luggage; a Luxury SUV or V-Class is better once you're picking up boxes and bags from three or four stores.
