Hourly Car and Driver Hire in Melbourne

Keep one car and one driver for as long as the day needs, from three hours up to a full day. Tell us the plan and we quote a rate for the block before anything is booked.

Three Hours or Longer

Book a block from three hours up to a full day.

The Car Waits for You

The same driver and the same car between every stop.

Rate Agreed First

We quote the block, and nothing is booked until you say yes.

Up to Eleven Seats

A sedan, an SUV or a maxi cab, chosen for the group and the bags.

How Hourly Hire Works

Tell us where the car should meet you, when the day starts and roughly how long you need it. We come back to you with a rate for the block, by phone or email, and once you agree it the car and driver are yours for that time. Stops, waiting and a change of plan along the way are all part of the booking.

When It Beats Booking Separate Trips

A normal cab is the right answer for getting from one place to another. When the day has four or five stops and plenty of waiting in between, booking by the hour is usually simpler: one booking, one driver who knows the plan, and no standing on a footpath waiting for the next car.

  • Meetings and site visits across the city
  • Weddings, events and functions with several stops
  • A day out in the Yarra Valley or on the Mornington Peninsula
  • Shopping, appointments or visiting family with the car waiting outside

Which Car to Choose

A sedan suits up to four people. An SUV or wagon gives you a bigger boot for luggage, shopping or equipment. A maxi cab seats up to 11, which keeps a group together in one car all day. Silver service stays on the meter like any other trip in that car, so it is booked as a normal trip rather than by the hour.

Questions About Hourly Hire

How does hourly hire work?

You book one car and one driver for a block of time, from three hours up to a full day. The driver stays with you between stops, so there is no hailing a new cab after every appointment and no waiting at a rank.

How much does hourly hire cost?

It depends on the car, the length of the block and where the day takes you, so we quote a rate for your booking rather than publish one figure. Send the form or call 0449 076 826 and we will agree the rate with you before anything is booked.

What is the shortest block I can book?

Three hours. If the day runs longer than planned, let the driver know or give us a call and we will talk through extending the booking.

Which cars can I hire by the hour?

A sedan for up to four people, an SUV or wagon when there is luggage to carry, or a maxi cab for up to 11. Silver service stays on the meter like any other trip in that car, so it is booked as a normal trip rather than by the hour.

What do people book hourly hire for?

A day of meetings across the city, a wedding or event with several stops, a day out in the Yarra Valley or on the Peninsula, or visiting family around Melbourne with the car waiting outside.
