Chauffeurs for your conferences and major events in Australia

Conferences: ICC Sydney and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre

In Sydney, ICC Sydney has a waterfront setting at Darling Harbour, on Cockle Bay. For taxis, the centre names two drop-off and pick-up points, Iron Wharf Place and Zollner Circuit, both reached via Darling Drive.

In Melbourne, the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) stands on the Yarra, at South Wharf. It has two entrances: Clarendon Street for exhibitions; Convention Centre Place, between Pan Pacific Melbourne and DFO South Wharf, for conventions.

At a venue of this size, the address alone is not enough: tell us the building and the entrance where your guests should be dropped off in the morning and collected in the evening.

Melbourne’s great events

A few dates that count in the year:

• The Melbourne Cup Carnival, at Flemington Racecourse: in 2026, from Saturday 31 October to Saturday 7 November, with the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday 3 November (Victoria Racing Club);
• The Australian Open, at Melbourne Park: in 2027, from 11 to 31 January, with the singles finals on 30 and 31 January (Australian Open);
• The Formula 1 race in Melbourne, at the Albert Park circuit: in 2027, from 2 to 4 April (Formula 1).

For these days, drop-off and pick-up points are chosen in advance, with the organiser or the venue receiving you, then written into your confirmation voucher. Vehicles depend on the availability of the Federation’s members: an early request leaves more choice.

In Sydney, an event on the water

On 26 December, the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race starts from Sydney Harbour; it is organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia. On that day, an exclusion zone surrounds the start, and the New South Wales Government sets specific rules for spectator boats. To watch the start from the water, see yacht, seaplane, helicopter and jet; for a reception by the water, see Sydney Harbour.

Several cars, one point of contact

When several chauffeur-driven cars are on the move for the same event, everything starts from a transport plan drawn up with you. It is covered by a single personal quote, together with our terms and conditions; once you accept and pay, each assignment is entrusted to the chosen member operator, which carries it out under its own responsibility.

A time that changes, a guest who is added: you go through the same point of contact, without having to reach each chauffeur; the change depends on members’ availability and may lead to an adjusted quote.

What we need to prepare the quote

Please tell us, even provisionally:

• the dates and times for each day;
• the places: hotels, event venue (building, entrance), reception venue;
• the number of people and bags;
• arrivals and departures: flights, with their times;
• the vehicles you would like, for example a saloon for a speaker;
• the name and phone number of the on-site contact.
