Licensed hire car service
VHA Cars Melbourne
A VHA car is a licensed, insured hire vehicle operated by a checked, professional chauffeur, giving you a safe and reliable travel experience. We run a full fleet of them for airport transfers, corporate travel, weddings and events across Melbourne.
CPV Accredited · MelbourneWhat is a VHA car?
VHA stands for Vehicle for Hire — Assisted
It's the Victorian licence class that covers chauffeured hire cars — separate from taxis and rideshare, with its own vehicle standards, driver checks and insurance requirements set by Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria. In practice, it's what allows private chauffeur hire Melbourne like ours to be booked directly, at a fixed price, with a professional driver behind the wheel rather than whoever is nearest on an app.
Every vehicle in our fleet carries this accreditation as standard. The car that picks up an executive for a corporate transfer is the same licensed standard available for an airport pickup or a wedding day — there's no separate "VHA fleet" sitting apart from the rest; accreditation is simply the baseline every vehicle has to meet before it can be hired out at all.

CPV Victoria accredited vehicles and drivers, checked and renewed on schedule — not a one-time formality.

Every Occasion
One licensed fleet, booked for airport runs, board meetings, wedding days and everything between.
VHA cars for airport travel
VHA Airport Transfers — Melbourne & Avalon
A licensed VHA car at the airport means real-time flight tracking, a chauffeur waiting at arrivals, and a fixed fare agreed before you land. No standing in a taxi queue, no surge pricing because three flights landed at once.
- Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) and Avalon Airport covered
- Meet & greet included as standard
- Sedans through to vans depending on group size and luggage
VHA cars for business travel
VHA Corporate Transfers
For executive and client travel, the accreditation behind a VHA car matters less than what it guarantees in practice — a vetted driver, a properly maintained vehicle, and a quiet, professional trip between meetings.
- Climate control, Wi-Fi and a distraction-free cabin
- On-time guarantee built around your actual schedule
- Corporate accounts available for regular bookings
VHA cars for weddings
VHA Cars for Wedding Day Transport
A wedding doesn't need a "VHA car" by name — it needs a driver who shows up early and a vehicle that photographs well. That's what the accreditation behind the term is there to guarantee, and it's exactly what we provide for the couple's car and the bridal party van alike.
- Ribbon and floral detailing available on request
- Multi-vehicle coordination for couple and bridal party
- Punctual arrivals timed to your run sheet, not a guess
VHA cars for events & group travel
From race day at Flemington to a night at Crown
Special events, group outings and family travel for up to 7 passengers — booked the same way as everything else on this page. If your day is less "occasion" and more "destination," our tours and transfers service covers winery days, city sightseeing and coastal road trips in the same licensed vehicles.

Common questions
VHA Cars Melbourne FAQs
Straightforward answers to the questions we get asked most often.
What does VHA stand for?
VHA stands for "Vehicle for Hire — Assisted," the Victorian licence class for chauffeured hire cars. It's regulated by Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria, separately from standard taxi and rideshare licensing.
What's included in a VHA car hire booking?
Every booking includes a licensed, accredited vehicle, a professional chauffeur, and fixed pricing agreed before travel. Bottled water and climate control are standard across the fleet.
Can I book a VHA car Melbourne hourly?
Yes — hourly hire is available for private transfers, events and tours. Point-to-point bookings such as airport transfers are quoted as a fixed fare instead. Get a quote for your specific trip.
Is a VHA car different to a taxi or rideshare?
Yes. A VHA car is licensed under its own accreditation class, with stricter vehicle presentation, driver background checks and insurance requirements than standard taxi or rideshare vehicles, and is always booked at a fixed price rather than a meter or surge rate.
Do you offer child seats?
Yes — child seats and booster seats can be arranged on request. Let us know the ages involved when booking so we can prepare the right seat in advance.
