Planning Ahead!

When planning your next trip to Perth, Margaret River, and the Southwest, leverage our experience. A private driver can make your journey easier, safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable! There are numerous advantages to hiring a private driver compared to driving your own vehicle, renting a car, taking public transportation, or using taxis.

If you're travelling with babies or children, we can provide suitable and approved car seats or seatbelts upon request. If you choose to drive into the region yourselves, having these fitted in any of our vehicles is also straightforward.

We offer a standalone transfer service between Perth and the Margaret River region for up to six passengers. This service can be incorporated into a multi-day discovery tour of the area with personalised itineraries. Additionally, an in-region transfer service is available for those flying directly into the Busselton Margaret River Airport (BMRA). This airport has been developed to accommodate interstate and international air services, and with ongoing planning for long-term infrastructure needs, to support the growing passenger demand and potential for additional services.

Flexibility & Freedom

A hallmark of having a private driver and guide is the flexibility and freedom it offers from the outset. You'll be traveling with only family and friends, and your itinerary will be tailored to your expectations, allowing for a degree of flexibility.

Having a local connection enhances your experience, providing greater insight into the region and its happenings. This connection allows you to make the most of your journey and explore opportunities that might otherwise be missed!

A Personalised Service

We approach all bookings with professionalism and will contact you promptly upon receiving your booking or inquiry. Since most of our tour experiences are bespoke, we will request as much input from you as possible. This helps us create a tailored and private tour itinerary that not only meets but exceeds your expectations.

Itinerary copies will be sent to you, as we understand that the planning process can often involve multiple parties. As a long-time local and wine-trained tour operator, we are happy to provide suggestions. Once the itinerary is approved, we will take care of all necessary bookings on your behalf.

Local Knowledge & Connections

MYDRIVER Margaret River boasts over 25 years of experience and a well-developed network within the local and regional wine industry. This deep expertise and established relationships foster exceptional service and flexibility when crafting custom wine and food-focused itineraries for visitors to the Margaret River region.

The popular adage, "It's who you know, not what you know," holds true in environments where the right connections can make all the difference. By leveraging our extensive network, we can provide a personalised and flexible itinerary tailored to your exact preferences and interests. After all, a memorable tour experience often stems from the passion, insight, and integrity of your host or guide.

Convenience & Time-Saving

If your travel plans include a vacation, hiring a private driver offers a high level of convenience and significantly reduces your travel time. Navigating unfamiliar streets and trying to find the most efficient routes can be daunting. Questions like how to get from your hotel to a location, how far you need to park from the entrance, and what traffic laws apply in a foreign country can be overwhelming. With a private driver, these concerns disappear.

A private driver can take you anywhere, at any time, allowing you to focus on enjoying your experience rather than worrying about logistics. This means traveling with flow and efficiency as you move through your itinerary, which is essential when visiting multiple venues and participating in various activities.

Cost Considerations for Private Driver Hire

While hiring a private driver offers numerous benefits, it does come at a cost, which can sometimes be hidden during the inquiry process. At MYDRIVER Margaret River, we prioritise transparency in our pricing, reflected in the setup of our website. We provide a direct online booking function and multiple contact options, including phone, text, email, and WhatsApp. We encourage you to do your due diligence by checking various review sites.

Our tailored and private tours are offered on a flat fee basis, with tasting fees and lunch at the client's expense. Typically, tasting fees are fully redeemable with any individual purchase, and the choice of lunch location is entirely up to you, making it challenging to include these costs in our pricing. This approach allows us to avoid turning your experience into a regular bus tour, often shared with strangers. A private driver not only provides convenience and safety but also enhances your overall experience with a level of service that public transportation simply cannot match.

Extensive Services

Being a long-term local with extensive experience in tourism and hospitality provides us with a wealth of recommended contacts and referrals across various sectors, including adventure tourism, sightseeing, and the wine and food spectrum. While the list of these contacts is too extensive to display here, as our client, we are more than happy to make suggestions and follow up on your behalf. For instance, we offer access to a personal, private home chef hire service that can take you on a culinary adventure right in the comfort of your residence. This personalised experience allows you to enjoy exquisite meals tailored to your tastes, making your stay even more memorable.

Luxury Transportation

Traveling in style often means traveling in comfort as well. We operate a small fleet of K4 Kia Carnival Platinum and SLi vehicles, which fuse SUV-inspired design with an unstoppable attitude. The Carnival features progressive styling and boasts an impressive 627L boot capacity, even with all eight seats in use, making it ideal for carrying luggage—or, even better, wine!

Although licensed to carry up to seven passengers, we limit our bookings to just six to ensure a more comfortable experience for everyone. For groups larger than six, we can offer two vehicles along with a more comprehensive split itinerary. This means the itineraries can share a common pick-up and drop-off location, as well as a lunch venue, while the morning and afternoon activities are personalised to suit your group’s preferences.

Safety & Reliability

The safety of every customer is our top priority. Our drivers and guides undergo thorough training to ensure they are knowledgeable in both safe driving practices and exceptional customer service. Additionally, all our drivers and guides are subject to background checks, providing complete assurance of safety for our clients.

Our vehicles are well-maintained and equipped with modern safety features, ensuring a secure and reliable travel experience. You can rest easy knowing that your journey with us prioritises your safety at every turn.

Where to Stay in the Margaret River Wine Region

When planning your stay in the Margaret River region, your choice of location can greatly enhance your experience.

Yallingup and Prevelly: If you prefer beach locations, these areas are ideal. Yallingup offers spectacular views, while Prevelly is closer to Margaret River, making it a convenient choice for day trips to Boranup or Augusta.

Busselton: Known for its charm and famous jetty, Busselton can feel a bit removed from other attractions in the region. Keep in mind that there are currently no Ubers in the area, and taxis can be scarce and unreliable, so consider your transportation options if you plan to go out for dinner.

Margaret River town, along with Prevelly and Gnarabup, boasts the greatest concentration of dining options, including cafes, coffee shops, galleries, and shops, placing you equidistant between the two capes. As a local tour operator, we can provide valuable insights to help you choose the best accommodation for your needs.
