Most Melbourne businesses that use a chauffeur service regularly are still booking each journey individually. That works until it doesn't until an invoice cannot be found, until three people are trying to reach the same number on the same morning, or until the accounts team asks for a breakdown of what has been spent on transport this quarter.
A corporate chauffeur account changes the entire structure of how executive transport is managed. This guide covers what an account includes, how billing works, and how to open one with Mel Chauffeurs so you can be operational from your first booking.
What Is a Corporate Chauffeur Account?
A corporate chauffeur account is a standing commercial arrangement between a business and a professional transport provider. Rather than booking individual journeys one at a time through a general line or app, the business has a dedicated account with billing, preferences, and contacts all managed in one place.
The practical difference is significant. One-off bookings require a fresh enquiry, a fresh quote, and a fresh payment for every journey. A corporate account sets all of that up once: pricing is pre-agreed, booking is handled through a single concierge contact, and invoicing is consolidated at the end of each billing cycle.
For Melbourne businesses that move executives, clients, or teams on a regular basis, this removes the administrative overhead that builds up quickly when transport is managed booking by booking.
Why Businesses Choose a Corporate Chauffeur Account
Many businesses begin by booking chauffeur services only when they are needed. While this works for occasional travel, it can become time-consuming as bookings become more frequent. Each journey may require a new quote, separate payment, and individual receipt, creating unnecessary administration for executive assistants, office managers, and finance teams.
A corporate chauffeur account simplifies this process by bringing every booking under one structured system. Pricing is agreed in advance, authorised team members can make bookings, and all journeys appear on a single monthly invoice. Instead of managing transport one trip at a time, businesses gain a consistent process that saves time, improves visibility, and reduces paperwork. For organisations that regularly arrange executive travel, airport transfers, or client transport, a corporate account provides a more efficient way to manage every journey.
Who Should Open a Corporate Chauffeur Account?
The corporate account structure is designed for any Melbourne business where transport is a recurring operational requirement not a once-a-quarter exception.
It is particularly well suited to:
Executive Leaders who travel frequently between the CBD, Tullamarine Airport (MEL), Avalon Airport (AVV), and client locations across Melbourne
Executive Assistants & PAs who manage travel on behalf of one or more executives and need a reliable, single point of contact
Corporate travel managers responsible for coordinating team travel across multiple departments, booking windows, and itineraries
Professional services firms law firms, consulting practices, financial advisor who regularly transport clients to meetings, events, or dinners
Companies with roadshow schedules requiring multi-stop, multi-city itineraries managed under a single account
Businesses hosting interstate or international guests who need seamless airport arrivals and city transfers without coordinating ad-hoc each time
If your business currently spends time chasing individual receipts, re-entering billing details for every booking, or managing transport across multiple team members without a central system, a corporate account is the direct solution.
What's Included in a Corporate Chauffeur Account?
A Mel Chauffeurs corporate account is structured around the operational needs of a professional Melbourne business not a one-size-fits-all template. The core components remain consistent across all accounts.
Fixed Pricing and Upfront Quotes
Every journey booked through a corporate account is priced on a fixed-fare basis. The price quoted at booking is the price invoiced at the end of the month no additions for tolls, airport levies, GST, or standard waiting time. There are no surge periods and no variable pricing based on demand.
For airport transfers, complimentary wait time is built into every booking: 60 minutes for international arrivals and 30 minutes for domestic, calculated from the actual landing time. Real-time flight tracking is active from departure, so the driver adjusts automatically if the flight lands early or runs late at no additional charge.
Dedicated Concierge and Multi-User Access
Every corporate account is assigned a dedicated Mel Chauffeurs concierge a named contact who manages all bookings, handles scheduling queries, and maintains records of standing preferences. You reach the same person every time, rather than a general enquiry line.
Multiple team members can make bookings under a single account. Whether it is the EA coordinating the CEO's airport run, a PA booking a client dinner pickup, or the office manager arranging group transfers for a conference, all bookings sit under one account and appear on a single monthly invoice.

Monthly Invoicing and GST Receipts
At the end of each billing cycle, Mel Chauffeurs issues a single consolidated invoice covering all journeys made under the account during that period. Every line item is itemised by date, booking reference, passenger name, route, and charge giving the accounts team a complete, audit-ready record without any follow-up required.
GST receipts are included as standard on every invoice. There is no need to chase individual receipts from drivers, request documentation retrospectively, or reconcile multiple payment records. The invoice arrives in the format your accounts team needs, at the frequency agreed when the account is opened.
For businesses that require cost-centre coding or departmental allocation, these preferences can be set up during the account opening process and applied automatically to all future invoices. This removes the manual step of sorting and attributing transport costs after the fact.
How to Open a Corporate Chauffeur Account
Setting up a Mel Chauffeurs corporate account is straightforward and does not require a lengthy approval process or minimum spend commitment to get started.
The setup process involves four steps:
Contact Mel Chauffeurs directly by phone on +61 468 425 851, by email at info@melchauffeurs.com.au, or through the enquiry form at melchauffeurs.com.au/book. Indicate that you are enquiring about a corporate account.
Provide your business details company name, ABN, primary billing contact, preferred invoice frequency, and any standing transport requirements you know upfront (regular airport runs, standard vehicle preferences, common pickup addresses).
Confirm your account preferences which team members will have booking access, whether cost-centre coding is required, and any standing instructions for specific executives or vehicle types.
Receive your account confirmation including your dedicated concierge contact details, account reference, and confirmation of your billing arrangement. From this point, all bookings are made through your concierge.
When opening your account, provide your most common journeys upfront regular airport runs, weekly CBD meetings, standard pickup addresses and drop-off points. Your concierge can pre-configure standing instructions so future bookings take seconds rather than starting from scratch each time.
What Happens After Your Account Goes Live
Your first corporate booking operates exactly like any Mel Chauffeurs journey with the addition of your account structure behind it. You or your nominated booker contacts the concierge, confirms the details, and receives a booking confirmation. Driver details and a direct contact number are provided 24 hours before the journey.
At the end of the billing cycle, your invoice arrives without any action required on your part. All journeys made during that period are listed, itemised, and ready for processing. There is no chasing, no reconciliation, and no missing receipts.
As the account matures, your concierge builds a picture of your standard requirements preferred vehicles, recurring routes, specific driver preferences, and scheduling patterns. Bookings become faster, standing preferences apply automatically, and the account operates as a background system rather than something that requires active management. That is the point of having one.
