Melbourne After Dark
Melbourne after dark, driven: laneway bars, the river lit up and a dinner booking held for you — with nobody parking the car or waiting for a ride home.
Discover Melbourne After Dark
Melbourne's night is spread out. Laneways in the centre, restaurants in Carlton and Fitzroy, the river and Southbank, rooftops above the grid. On foot it is a lot of walking; by rideshare it is a lot of waiting at kerbs. A private car and driver removes both.
The car stays with you for the evening. You get out where you want, we park, and we are back at the kerb when you are. If you want dinner booked, tell us the kind of place and we arrange it. If you would rather decide on the night, that works too.
This one is charged as evening chauffeur hire rather than as a full day. Tell us roughly how long you want the car and where you expect to be, and the quote comes back fixed.

Evening Essentials
- Duration
- An evening booking rather than a full day. This route is charged as hourly chauffeur hire, with a three-hour minimum, and we agree the length with you when you book.
- Departure Time
- Agreed with you when you book. Evening start, agreed with you. Sunset moves through the year, so the city looks different at 6pm in June and 9pm in January. Daylight hours change through the year, so we set the pick-up time to suit the season and your itinerary rather than fix it in advance.
- Vehicle & Capacity
- Matched to your group: Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 for couples; Toyota Alphard, Alphard 40, Mercedes-Benz V-Class or Kia Carnival for families and small groups; Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for larger parties. Tell us the group size and roughly what luggage you have, and the vehicle is confirmed with your quote.
- Included
- Private vehicle and chauffeur for the full day, tolls and GST. One fixed price, quoted before you book — no surge pricing and no per-kilometre extras.
- Not Included
- Entry tickets, tastings and activity fees are not included. Meals and drinks are not included. Meals, drinks and any venue entry are yours on the night. You pay these directly on the day, so you decide where you eat and what you spend.
- Child Seats
- Baby capsules and booster seats are supplied free of charge on request. Tell us your children's ages when you book so the right seats are fitted before pick-up.
- Payment
- Payment in full confirms the booking. Major credit cards and bank transfer accepted.
- Cancellation
- Free cancellation more than 24 hours before pick-up. Within 24 hours, 50% of the fare is charged. Tours run in all weather. If a tour cannot go ahead on the day because of an official closure, we reschedule it at no cost.

Out All Evening. No One Drives.
The car stays with you between stops, so the night is not planned around parking, surge pricing or who has to stay sober.
