New Year's Eve chauffeur guide: a safe, stylish night out

New Year's Eve is one of the hardest nights of the year to find a ride. A pre-booked chauffeur means you can celebrate, then get home safely, without surge pricing or long waits.

The ride is the hard part

On New Year's Eve, everyone leaves at the same time. Pre-booking your chauffeur means a driver is arranged for you, with a plan for the pick-up. Request an instant quote to see your fare in advance.

Book early

The night is one of the first to sell out. Choose your pick-up time, the number of guests and your destination, and book as early as you can. Free cancellation up to 6 hours before pick-up is there if plans change.

A plan for the night

  • Decide on your start address and your first stop.
  • List any further stops, such as dinner followed by a party.
  • Agree a return time with some flexibility, as midnight crowds take time to clear.
  • Share a phone number that will be answered on the night.

Hourly hire for the whole evening

If you are moving between dinner and a party, hourly hire keeps one driver with you for the evening, from a minimum of 3 hours up to 12. You can leave and rejoin the car as the night unfolds.

Groups and vehicles

A Luxury Sedan takes up to 3, a Luxury SUV up to 5, an Executive Van up to 7 and a Mercedes Sprinter up to 12, so a large group can travel together. Our guide to choosing a vehicle can help.

Check the official details

Road closures, public transport and event arrangements in the city change each year, so please check the Public Transport Victoria website and the organisers' pages for the latest. Tell us where you are going and we will plan around it. See our Melbourne chauffeur service and our Christmas guide.
