What is VIP car hire?
VIP car hire in Sydney is prestige or performance car hire arranged for a guest who matters: a visiting executive, a speaker, a client, a family member. You choose the car, we deliver it, and the guest simply drives or is driven. It is a specific car, reserved for a specific person, on a specific day.
Drive Tribe is a Sydney prestige and performance car hire company. Guests book online, their licence is verified through a trusted third-party provider, and the car is delivered anywhere in Sydney or collected from its base. For a chauffeured guest, there is no licence check, no minimum age, no bond and no cover to buy. That makes it straightforward when you are arranging transport for someone whose licence you do not hold.
Executive assistants, event managers and hosts use this service because it removes the guesswork. You can book for someone else, add delivery to a hotel or an agreed pick-up point, and see the bond and every fee before you pay. For a single VIP, a chauffeur or a self-drive car both work. If you need several cars for a delegation, see the services page for the full range.
Which cars are available for VIP guests?
On this page you can choose from chauffeured cars, executive self-drive cars, and larger vehicles for delegations. The chauffeured group includes the Mercedes-AMG G63, which is chauffeur only, plus the Tesla Model X P100D, the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon and the Mercedes-AMG GT, which can be self-drive or chauffeured. The executive self-drive group includes the Mercedes-Benz S500 L, the Genesis GV80, the Range Rover Sport D300, the Porsche Macan GTS and the Porsche Taycan Turbo. For groups, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Infiniti QX80, Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7 are all self-drive only.
Each car has its own minimum age for self-drive: 20, 25 or 30. The S500 L is self-drive only and minimum age 25. The G63 is chauffeur only. If your guest prefers not to drive, the chauffeured option removes the age and licence requirements entirely.
You can see the full range on the fleet page, or go straight to a car: G63 chauffeured, S500 L, Model X, G-Wagon, AMG GT, GV80, Range Rover Sport, Macan GTS, Taycan, V-Class, QX80, GLS and X7.
“Great car and excellent service. Everything went smoothly and easy. Will hire again.”

Chauffeured or self-drive: which suits your guest?
Choose chauffeured when your guest should not or cannot drive: no licence check, no minimum age, no bond, no cover to buy. Chauffeured bookings are quoted per job. Choose self-drive when your guest wants the car to themselves, is old enough for that model, and is happy to complete licence verification before handover. Self-drive is priced per day, and longer hires taper.
For a visiting executive who lands, works and leaves, a chauffeur is usually the cleaner answer. For a guest staying a few days who wants to drive to meetings or the coast, self-drive gives more freedom. Some cars can do either: the Model X, G-Wagon and AMG GT are all available both ways. The S500 L is self-drive only, and the G63 is chauffeur only.
If you are unsure, tell us the guest's itinerary and we will suggest the right format. The luxury car and driver guide explains when a driven day beats self-drive, or see the corporate transfer in the Model X for airport runs. For longer stays, long-term hire can cover a week or more.
Not sure which car or format?
Share the itinerary and we will suggest the right car and whether chauffeured or self-drive suits your guest. No licence check, no minimum age and no bond for chauffeured guests.
Get a quoteCallWhatsAppCan the car be waiting at the airport or hotel?
Yes. We deliver to a hotel, an agreed pick-up point, or the airport. Our Mascot base is minutes from the airport, so timing is straightforward. Delivery and collection anywhere in Sydney is priced by distance and shown before you pay.
For a VIP airport pickup, tell us the flight details and the guest's name. We will confirm the handover point and time in writing. If you need specifics such as a particular meeting point or a quiet area for the handover, ask when you book and we will confirm what is possible in writing before you pay.
Hotel delivery works the same way: we agree a time and place, and the car is brought to your guest. You can see the areas we cover on the locations page, including Sydney CBD and Mascot and the airport. For airport-specific options, see luxury car hire at Sydney Airport.
How much does VIP car hire cost?
Self-drive is priced per day. The lowest self-drive Saver day rate across the cars on this page is from $200 a day. Executive self-drive cars start from $500 a day, and delegation cars from $250 a day. Chauffeured work is quoted per job.
Each car page shows a 'from' Saver rate, and the checkout offers Saver, Flexible and Instant rate plans. Longer hires taper. The bond is a pre-authorisation hold on the hirer's card, not a charge, released after the car comes back. The bond and every fee are shown before you pay. Delivery and collection anywhere in Sydney is priced by distance and shown before you pay.
Examples of self-drive Saver day rates: the Tesla Model X P100D is $200, the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon is $1,500, the Mercedes-AMG GT is $1,200, the Mercedes-Benz S500 L is $500, the Genesis GV80 is $500, the Range Rover Sport D300 is $550, the Porsche Macan GTS is $650, the Porsche Taycan Turbo is $700, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class is $350, the Infiniti QX80 is $321, the Mercedes-Benz GLS is $250, and the BMW X7 is $250. For a detailed quote, contact us.
How do you book for someone else?
You can book on behalf of your guest. The booker arranges the reservation, and if the guest will self-drive they still complete their own licence verification before the handover. The bond is held on the hirer's card. For a chauffeured guest, there is no licence check, no minimum age, no bond and no cover to buy, so booking for someone else is simpler.
Start by choosing the car and the format. If you are booking in a company name, let us know and we will confirm what is needed; corporate car hire covers business bookings. You can also ask for specific requirements and we will confirm them in writing before you pay. Every handover is photographed with you present. Our same-tier guarantee means you are never swapped to a lesser car; if your car is unavailable you are offered one of the same tier or told plainly.
