Every booking is handled personally and professionally. You get:
- The same driver, every time
- A clean, modern, comfortable vehicle

Whether you need to get across town, travel between cities, or have someone you trust drive a loved one, I’m here to help.
Why Choose Me As Your Personal Driver?
You deserve more than a rushed ride or a surprise surcharge. Here’s what makes this service different:
Truly Flexible Service
I offer transport on your terms. Book for:
- One or Two hours
- A half day
- Full-day travel
- Multi-day bookings (including overnight stays)
I adapt to your schedule – no need to rush or wait around for availability. Whether you’re travelling for business, attending a medical appointment, or need to get to the airport, your time is valued.
Qualified, Safe, and Police-Vetted
Your safety is never an afterthought. I’ve completed:
- Advanced Driver Training at Hampton Downs
- Defensive Driving Certification
- Full police vetting and licensing for small passenger services
- Full commercial insurance, including public liability
You’re not just getting a private driver, you’re getting a professional who’s fully trained and accountable.
A Comfortable, Clean Ride
I drive a well-maintained Toyota Camry Hybrid, a quiet, modern sedan with:
- High-quality suspension for a smooth, settled ride
- Spacious rear seating
- Quiet, comfortable interior
- Low kilometres and high reliability
It’s clean, discreet, and far more comfortable than your average taxi or Uber.
Personalised, Respectful Approach
Some passengers want to chat. Others prefer quiet. Either way, I take your lead. My job is to make your journey smooth, stress-free, and professional.
- Need assistance getting in and out? I can help.
- Travelling with sensitive information? It stays confidential.
- Want a driver who’s punctual and low-fuss? That’s me.
Dedicated Service – Not a Taxi, Not a Rideshare
This is not an Uber or taxi service. When you book me, I’m your dedicated driver for the full duration. That means:
- No waiting around
- No switching between drivers
- No stress over app glitches or surprise pricing
You get consistency, reliability, and personal service from a qualified professional private driver.
