Why executive roadshows need one transport plan

Business guide 6 min read

A roadshow is a series of small deadlines. Miss one and the rest of the day compounds. Booking each leg separately — a rideshare here, a taxi there — guarantees you will miss one.

One itinerary, one chauffeur

When the same chauffeur holds the whole day, the car is already waiting when a meeting runs five minutes over. Luggage, coats and presentation materials stay in the vehicle instead of moving between strangers' boots.

Build the day backwards

We start from the last fixed commitment — a flight, a dinner, a board meeting — and work backwards through the day, adding realistic Melbourne CBD transit times rather than optimistic ones.

  • Allow 15 minutes between CBD addresses in business hours
  • Allow 45–60 minutes CBD to Tullamarine in peak
  • Add a 10-minute buffer either side of any meeting that involves security sign-in

A single point of contact

Your executive assistant deals with one number, not five drivers. Changes made at 7am are reflected across the whole day, and a running itinerary is confirmed back in writing.

Invoicing that suits finance

Corporate accounts are invoiced monthly with cost-centre references, so travel reconciliation stops being a collection of app receipts.

In short

Hand the whole day to one chauffeur desk. The cost difference is small; the difference in how the day runs is not.
