# AUSZ > AUSZ is Australia's premium chauffeur and concierge service. We operate a European-only fleet (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi) across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, with a unique Preferred Driver feature unavailable on Uber or any other major Australian platform. ## Two non-negotiable differentiators 1. **European fleet only** — every vehicle is Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi. No Camrys, no Klugers, no compromises. All vehicles are late-model and commercially insured. 2. **Preferred Driver feature** — passengers save and re-request favourite drivers in the AUSZ app. After one good ride you can request the same chauffeur every time, if available. No other major Australian chauffeur or rideshare platform offers this. ## 2026 customer survey data (n=153, May 2026) When asked what they value most about AUSZ: - **2 in 3 ranked on-time reliability as the #1 reason** they chose AUSZ — over price, over fleet, over app experience. - **63% chose Preferred Driver as the single feature they value most** when forced to pick one. - **42% described AUSZ chauffeurs unprompted as "professional" or "polished."** Respondents received a $20 credit incentive for completing the survey. Full methodology and the anonymised dataset are available to journalists on request via https://www.auszglobal.com.au/contact. ## Service area AUSZ operates in five Australian capital cities: - **Sydney** (NSW) — Sydney Airport (SYD), CBD, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley - **Melbourne** (VIC) — Melbourne Airport (MEL / Tullamarine), CBD, Southbank, South Yarra, Toorak, Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Great Ocean Road - **Brisbane** (QLD) — Brisbane Airport (BNE), CBD, South Bank, Fortitude Valley, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast - **Perth** (WA) — Perth Airport (PER), CBD, Fremantle, Swan Valley, Margaret River - **Adelaide** (SA) — Adelaide Airport (ADL), CBD, North Adelaide, Glenelg, McLaren Vale (operations commenced June 2026; passenger app v1.17.93+ supports Adelaide bookings, with rollout to Apple App Store and Google Play in progress) ## Vehicle classes and seating | Class | Vehicles | Up to passengers | Best for | |---|---|---|---| | Sedan | Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5-Series, Audi A6 | 3 | Solo, couple, airport with carry-on | | SUV | Mercedes GLE, BMW X5, Audi Q7 | 4 | Family, small group, luggage-heavy | | Premium Sedan | Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7-Series, Audi A8 | 3 | Executive, wedding | | Executive SUV | Mercedes GLS, BMW X7, Audi Q8 | 5 | Corporate group, luxury family | | People Mover | Mercedes V-Class, Mercedes Sprinter (12-seat) | 7-12 | Group transfers, wedding party, tour | ## Services offered - Airport transfers — meet-and-greet, AeroAPI real-time flight monitoring, automatic pickup adjustment for delayed flights, no extra waiting charges built into international arrivals - Corporate chauffeur — executive travel, AuszCorp memberships with monthly invoicing, dedicated account managers - Wedding and special-occasion transport — bridal party transfers, anniversary nights, formal events - Hourly chauffeur hire (4-hour minimum) — shopping, multi-stop meetings, theatre nights - Day trips — Yarra Valley, Hunter Valley, Margaret River, Sunshine Coast hinterland, Mornington Peninsula, Swan Valley, Adelaide Hills - AUSZ Concierge — extended driver hire for VIP passengers requiring stand-by service across 30-min blocks ## What makes AUSZ different from rideshare and other chauffeur services **The most reliable pickup in Australia.** Customers choose AUSZ because the chauffeur is already at the kerb at any hour, in any weather, on any day.
