COMFORT
DISCRETION
CARE

I take a focused, considered approach to private driving - one well-appointed vehicle, so every service has the same standard of comfort, discretion, and care. It's been chosen with Margaret River itself in mind: suited to longer days, country roads, and the relaxed pace the region asks for.

I drive a Mercedes-Benz Valente, an authorised passenger transport vehicle, generous in space, smooth handling, a calm interior. Whether we're moving between wineries, heading to a long lunch, or transferring between destinations, the emphasis stays the same: ease, comfort, continuity through the day.

The interior's designed for guests to settle in between stops - space to relax, talk, or just enjoy the drive. Climate, seating, ride quality - these aren't afterthoughts, they're part of the experience.

Presentation matters too. The vehicle is professionally maintained and cleaned between every service, so it's clean and welcoming each time you step in.

This vehicle is used across every Oak Drive Co. service - Private Wine Tours, Private Driver, and Transfers.

Questions about the vehicle?

FAQ

How many people can travel in your vehicle?

Up to seven guests.

And how many pieces of luggage?

Depends on group size and bag size - with seven guests and a lot of luggage, it might be tight. I'll confirm suitability with you when you enquire.

Is the Mercedes-Benz Valente comfortable?

Yes, that's exactly what it's built for. Smooth, quiet, and comfortable enough that the drive itself is part of the day, not something to get through

What is the seat configuration?

One seat up front and six in the back, arranged facing each other, limousine-style, rather than rows facing forward. It also makes getting in and out easier, since nobody has to climb past anyone else.

What if my group is bigger than 7?

I can arrange an additional driver, so a larger group can still travel together privately as one booking.

Can I eat or drink inside the vehicle?

Water and non-alcoholic drinks, yes. I'd ask you to hold off on food to keep things clean and comfortable for the next guests.

Can I consume alcoholic beverages in the vehicle?

No. That's Western Australian law, not my preference. Anything you buy during the day is welcome in the car, just unopened until you're somewhere you can enjoy it properly.

How clean is your vehicle?

The vehicle is professionally maintained and cleaned between every service. I want it calm and welcoming every time someone steps in, not just the first time.
