School Formal Car & Limo Hire Melbourne
Arrive like you own the night.
Your school formal is a milestone you'll remember for the rest of your life — and arriving in a Mayfair limousine makes sure everyone notices. Mayfair has run school formal car hire and limo hire in Melbourne since 2011, taking Year 12 students to formals across every Melbourne school and suburb — in Hummers and limousines we own, with chauffeurs parents can trust.
Group bookings are our speciality for school formals. Get the whole crew together in one Hummer — the Black Hummer 6x6 is built for a large Year 12 group, and the Pink Hummer H2 and White Hummer are the favourites for smaller crews and girls' formals. The Signature stretch limousine is the choice for a more classic look.
We cover school formals across every Melbourne suburb — from Toorak and Brighton through the bayside, across to Glen Waverley, Box Hill and Ringwood in the east, out to Berwick and Cranbourne in the south-east, and north and west to Craigieburn, Essendon and Point Cook. Wherever the formal is, we have run it before.
Formal season runs through spring and it is the busiest time of our year. Popular Friday and Saturday dates in October and November are often taken months ahead, and the 6x6 is the first vehicle to go — so book as soon as you know the date. If your formal is only weeks away, call us on 0470 555 667 and we will tell you straight away what is still available.

Formal car hire across Melbourne
We run formal car hire from every corner of Melbourne. In the west, Werribee, Tarneit and Point Cook. In the east, Chadstone, Malvern, Glen Waverley and Ringwood. In the south-east, Cranbourne, Berwick and Pakenham. And further out to Geelong and the Mornington Peninsula. Each suburb page lists the local schools and the formal venues we run to most.
For school-by-school detail — the venues, the timing and the usual pickup runs — see our school formal transport guide, which covers schools such as Scotch College.
How a formal booking works
Most formal bookings are a single Hummer collecting a group from several homes, a photo stop for the parents, then the arrival at the venue where the chauffeur holds for the entrance photos. Send us the pickup addresses and the arrival time and we build the route with a buffer so the group arrives together and on time — not thirty minutes early standing outside, and not late.
For a very large group we can run two Hummers on one booking, coordinated to arrive together. Multiple drop-offs at the end of the night, or a single drop-off at an after-party, are both easily arranged.
For parents
Every Mayfair chauffeur is professionally accredited, uniformed and driving a vehicle we own, maintain and fully insure. There is no sub-contracting — the company you book is the company that turns up. Alcohol is not permitted for underage passengers and our drivers manage this on the night.
You will have a direct line to coordinate pickup details, and the chauffeur's contact on the night. Parents are welcome to be at the first pickup for photos; the car will hold for them.
Choosing the vehicle
The Black Hummer 6x6 is the biggest vehicle we run and the default for a large formal group who all want to travel together. The Pink and White Hummers suit a smaller crew, with the pink the popular pick for a girls' group. The Signature stretch limousine is for a group who want the classic long-limo look rather than a party Hummer.
Tell us your final numbers when you enquire and we will confirm the vehicle that fits the group comfortably.

Common Questions
How many people fit in a formal limo?
The Black Hummer 6x6 seats up to 18 and is built for a big formal group who all want to travel together. The pink and white stretch Hummers seat up to 15, and the Signature stretch limousine up to 12. Tell us your final numbers and we will confirm the vehicle that fits comfortably.
When should I book for a school formal in Melbourne?
As soon as you know the date. Formal season runs through spring and vehicles fill fast — popular Friday and Saturday dates in October and November are often booked months ahead, and the Black Hummer 6x6 is the first to go. If your formal is only weeks away, call us on 0470 555 667 and we will tell you straight away what is still free.
Can the Hummer pick everyone up from different homes?
Yes — multi-stop pickups are standard for formals. Send us all the addresses and the arrival time and we plan the route with a buffer so the whole group arrives together and on time.
Is it safe, and what do you tell parents?
Every chauffeur is professionally accredited, uniformed and driving a vehicle we own, maintain and insure — no sub-contracting. Alcohol is not permitted for underage passengers and our drivers manage this on the night. Parents get a direct line for coordination and the driver's contact for the night.
How much does school formal car hire cost?
We quote each formal individually because the total depends on the vehicle, the number of pickups and how long the car holds at the venue. You get a clear quote upfront with no hidden fees, and split across a full group it usually works out to a modest amount per student.
Can we run two cars for a big group?
Yes — for a very large formal group we run two Hummers on one booking, coordinated to arrive together at the venue.
Which suburbs and schools do you cover for formals?
All of them. We regularly run formals for schools across the bayside, the eastern suburbs (Glen Waverley, Box Hill, Ringwood), the south-east (Berwick, Cranbourne, Frankston), and the north and west (Craigieburn, Essendon, Point Cook). Wherever the formal is, we have run it before.
