Our Vehicle
Oak Drive Co. operates with a focused and considered approach to private driving. We prioritise a single, well-appointed vehicle that allows us to deliver a consistent standard of comfort, discretion, and care throughout every service. Our vehicle has been selected with the Margaret River region in mind . Well suited to longer days on the road, country driving conditions, and the relaxed rhythm that defines how the region is best experienced.
​
Oak Drive Co. operates a Mercedes-Benz Valente, offering generous space, smooth handling, and a calm interior environment. Whether moving between wineries, heading to a long lunch, or transferring between destinations, the emphasis remains on ease, comfort, and continuity throughout the day.
The interior is designed to allow guests to settle in comfortably between stops, with space to relax, talk, or simply enjoy the journey. Climate comfort, seating layout, and ride quality are considered part of the experience rather than separate features.
Presentation and care are equally important. The vehicle is professionally maintained and cleaned between services, ensuring a clean, uncluttered, and welcoming environment each time you step inside.
This vehicle is used across all Oak Drive Co. services, including Private Driving, Bespoke Itinerary & Private Driving, and our Signature Experiences.
