Hire a driver · Sydney

Hire a driver to drive your car — with you in it.

A personal chauffeur, but in your own vehicle. Angelift sends a verified, police-checked driver to drive you where you need to go in your car — and a second driver handles their trip back, so you never have to think about it.

Your car. Your seats. Their driving.

Traditional chauffeur services put you in their car — usually at limo prices, usually by phone quote. Hiring an Angelift driver is different: you keep your own vehicle, your child seats, your gear in the boot, and your car ends the trip exactly where you do.

Every driver is police-checked with a clean driving record and a 4.8+ star rating, the key handover is verified with a security code, and the vehicle is photo-documented before and after the trip.

When people hire a driver

More reasons than just drinks.

After drinks or a big night

Dinner ran long, drinks happened, and the car needs to come home. The classic Angelift trip.

Medical & day surgery

Sedation, eye procedures, or any appointment where you're told not to drive afterwards — but still need your car home.

Fatigue & long days

Red-eye landings, double shifts, or events that end late. Too tired to drive is a real reason not to drive.

How it works

Hiring a driver in four steps.

Pre-booked, dual-driver, transparent fare — so you and your car arrive together.

Step 01

Pre-book your driver

Enter pickup, destination, vehicle details, and time — at least 2 hours ahead. The fare estimate appears before you confirm.

Step 02

Verify and hand over

Your driver arrives, you exchange 4-digit security codes, and the car is photo-documented before the keys change hands.

Step 03

Be driven in your own car

Sit back while your hired driver takes the wheel. Live tracking and trip sharing run in the background.

Step 04

Done — the return is handled

A Guardian Angel collects your driver from the drop-off. You're home, your car is home, and nobody is stranded.

Transparent by design

No phone quotes. No hourly guesswork.

Old-school "hire a driver" services in Sydney work by phone: you call, describe the trip, and hope the quote is fair. Angelift shows you an itemised fare in the app before you book — typically $65–$130 depending on distance and time — and the price you see is the price that's authorised.

Sydney coverage: Angelift operates across greater Sydney within 25 km of the CBD. Pre-book at least 2 hours ahead in the rider app.

Common questions

Quick answers.

Can I hire a driver to drive my own car in Sydney?

Yes. Angelift lets you hire a verified, police-checked driver who drives your car with you in it — like a personal chauffeur, but in your own vehicle. Pre-book at least 2 hours ahead within 25 km of Sydney CBD.

How much does it cost?

Fares typically range from $65 to $130 depending on distance and time. You see a transparent itemised quote in the app before you confirm.

How does the driver get home after dropping me off?

Every trip uses a dual-driver model: your Angel Driver drives your car, while a Guardian Angel drives separately to your drop-off and takes the Angel Driver onward afterwards. The return trip is built into the service.

Is the driver insured to drive my car?

Angelift is a TfNSW Authorised Booking Service Provider (#458249), with security code key handover, pre and post-trip photo documentation, and live tracking on every trip. See our insurance page for details.
