At the Airport
How will I meet my chauffeur at the airport?
Your booking information will include the airport pickup arrangement. Follow the instructions provided for your confirmed transfer and contact us if you need assistance after arrival.
What flight details should I provide?
Provide your flight number where applicable, your scheduled arrival or departure time, passenger numbers and luggage details. These details help us plan the transfer around your itinerary.
How is airport pickup waiting time handled?
For Melbourne Airport arrivals, 60 minutes of free waiting time is included, counted from your flight's actual landing time. We track your flight, so a delayed arrival does not use up your waiting time. If you ask your chauffeur to wait longer, additional waiting and parking charges may apply.
What if my flight time changes?
Contact us as soon as possible if your flight time or other travel details change. We will review the updated information and the available options for your transfer.
When will I receive service contact details?
Contact and collection information is provided with your confirmed booking where applicable. Contact us if you need clarification before your scheduled pickup.
