Why Visitors Choose a Private Chauffeur to Sorrento
Driving yourself to Sorrento on a busy summer weekend, or after an evening at one of the High Street restaurants, is far less enjoyable than having a driver ready at the door. Here is what sets a private chauffeur transfer apart from the alternatives:
- Fixed pricing, confirmed upfront: no meter running, no surge fees during peak periods or public holidays.
- Door-to-door service: your driver picks up from your home, hotel, office, or the airport, and drops you at your exact Sorrento destination, whether that is the InterContinental Sorrento, Hotel Sorrento, the Pier, or a private address.
- CPV-accredited and WWCC-cleared drivers: all our chauffeurs hold Commercial Passenger Vehicle accreditation and Working With Children clearance, so families travelling with kids are in safe hands.
- Free baby and booster seats: available on request at no extra charge. Just let us know ages and numbers when you book.
- Bottled water and hand sanitiser: included in every vehicle as standard.
- 24/7 availability: early morning airport runs, late-night returns from events, or mid-week transfers. We are available around the clock.
- Flight tracking on airport pickups: if your flight is delayed, we adjust automatically. You will not be charged for the wait.

Our Fleet for Sorrento Transfers
We offer a range of vehicles to suit solo travellers, couples, families, and larger groups.
Mercedes Viano (4–6 passengers) Our black Mercedes Viano people mover is a popular choice for family transfers and small groups. Spacious enough for passengers and luggage, comfortable enough for the full run from the airport.
Mercedes Sprinter (10–11 passengers) Ideal for large families, wedding parties, corporate groups, or hen and buck groups heading down to the Peninsula. The Sprinter keeps everyone together in one vehicle, which is considerably more cost-effective than booking multiple cars.
Executive Sedan (1–3 passengers) For solo or couple transfers where comfort and a quieter, more private ride is the priority.
All vehicles are presented in black, hand-sanitised before every trip, and carry child seating equipment on request.
Sorrento Transfers for Special Occasions
Weddings Sorrento’s limestone heritage buildings, foreshore venues, and boutique properties make it one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most popular wedding destinations. We provide wedding party transfers, guest shuttles, and bridal transport — coordinated across multiple pickup locations if needed. Ask us about multi-vehicle packages for your wedding day.
Dolphin Swim and Eco Tour Days If you are booking a dolphin swim or seal snorkel tour from Sorrento Pier through Polperro or Moonraker, we can transfer your group direct to the pier and collect you when the tour ends. No need to rush or worry about parking.
Sorrento Golf Club The Sorrento Golf Club holds a well-earned reputation as one of Victoria’s premier private courses. We regularly transfer members and guests, and are familiar with the Club’s schedule. Pre-book to guarantee your vehicle on competition or social days.
Peninsula Hot Springs, Arthur’s Seat Eagle & Winery Visits We can build a full-day itinerary around your Sorrento visit — Peninsula Hot Springs at Fingal, the Eagle gondola at Arthur’s Seat, or cellar door visits at Mornington Peninsula wineries. Book by the hour for flexibility, or brief us on your plan and we will quote a flat rate for the day.
Corporate Retreats Several Sorrento and Peninsula properties host executive offsite meetings and retreats. We provide professional, discreet transport for leadership teams and visiting executives, with reliable on-time pickups and clean, professional presentation throughout.
Things to Do in Sorrento (Your Local Guide)
Part of choosing a good chauffeur service is knowing where to take you. Here is our quick guide to Sorrento and the immediate area — useful if you are visiting for the first time.
Sorrento Front Beach and Ocean Beach The Front Beach on the bay side is calm and family-friendly. The Ocean (or Back) Beach on the Bass Strait side offers surf, rock pools, dramatic cliffs, and a more rugged coastal experience. Both are within easy reach of the Sorrento village.
Sorrento Pier The departure point for dolphin and seal swim tours (Polperro Dolphin Swims and Moonraker operate from here), the Searoad ferry crossing to Queenscliff, and fishing and bay cruise charters.
Diamond Bay and the Coastal Walk A superb short walk from the village takes in Diamond Bay and the Bay of Islands — limestone sea stacks and blowholes with views back across Port Phillip. One of the best free walks on the Peninsula.
Hotel Sorrento and High Street Restaurants Established in 1872, Hotel Sorrento remains one of the most recognisable addresses on the Peninsula, with multiple dining and bar spaces. High Street has a strong selection of cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops, best explored without a car taking up your attention.
Manyung Gallery One of Victoria’s most respected commercial art galleries, showing a rotating collection of contemporary Australian works. Worth a visit even if you are not buying.
InterContinental Sorrento Mornington Peninsula A landmark property on the Sorrento foreshore, recently reimagined as a luxury hotel and spa. Aurora Spa and Bathhouse at the property is a popular destination in its own right.
Collins Settlement Historic Site Sorrento was the site of the first attempted European settlement in Victoria in 1803, predating Melbourne by over three decades. The Collins Settlement historic site near Sullivan Bay carries interpretive markers and is a fascinating stop for anyone interested in Victorian history.
