Choosing a Limo Company

Limo Companies in Melbourne — Why Customers Choose Mayfair

What to look for in a Melbourne limousine company — and how we measure up.

There are dozens of limo companies in Melbourne, and from the outside they look much the same: a photo gallery, a phone number and a promise of luxury. The differences show up on the day. Is the car in the photos the car that arrives? Is the price the price, or does it grow? Does the company answer the phone the week of the booking? Here is what we would check — and how Mayfair answers each one.

Does the company own its cars?

Many limo businesses take the booking and pass it to another operator, so the car that turns up may not be the one you chose. Mayfair owns and maintains every vehicle in our fleet — the Hummers, the Rolls Royce Tribute, the G-Wagon, the Sprinter and the classics. The car you book is the car that arrives.

Is the price fixed?

Ask for a total price for the whole booking, in writing, before you pay anything. Mayfair confirms a fixed total upfront, and for many trips you can see your price straight away on the booking form. Our limo hire cost guide explains what goes into a price.

What do real customers say?

Read the reviews on Google rather than the testimonials on a website. Mayfair is rated 5.0 from our Google reviews — see our reviews. Look for reviews that mention the occasion you are booking: weddings, formals, hens nights or race days.
