MONA Chauffeur Service
Marquee provides chauffeur transport for MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) and Dark Mofo events. From exhibition openings and gala dinners in the museum's dramatic spaces to the world-renowned Dark Mofo winter festival, your named chauffeur navigates the Berriedale approach and delivers you close to the entrance pavilion.
What does a MONA chauffeur service include?
A named chauffeur, a late-model European vehicle, a drop-off at the main entrance on Main Road Berriedale, and a confirmed price locked in before the event. No parking in MONA's limited spaces on a gala night and no rideshare difficulties in a semi-rural precinct. For Dark Mofo multi-day programs, the same chauffeur handles each event evening. MONA is a flagship venue for event chauffeur hire in Hobart, alongside Wrest Point, Hotel Grand Chancellor, and MyState Bank Arena.
Where does the chauffeur drop off and pick up at MONA?
Your chauffeur drops you at the main entrance on Main Road, Berriedale. The museum is accessed via the grounds; your chauffeur delivers you as close as possible to the entrance pavilion before the walk into the sandstone cliffs. After your event, your chauffeur is waiting in the designated car park area. The Berriedale site is 12km from Hobart CBD; arriving by chauffeur avoids both the drive and the parking limitations, which are particularly acute on Dark Mofo evenings.
Which vehicles are best for MONA events?
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class suits gala dinners and opening-night VIPs. The Mercedes V-Class carries group arrivals of up to 7 for Dark Mofo events. Mercedes Sprinters handle larger festival groups of up to 11. The Marquee Hobart chauffeur fleet includes BMW 7 Series and luxury SUVs. Climate control matters particularly during Dark Mofo winter nights when temperatures are cold.
How much does a chauffeur to MONA cost?
Hourly chauffeur hire starts from $210 with a 2-hour minimum, well-suited to Dark Mofo programs with flexible evening timing. Point-to-point transfers are quoted at a confirmed price covering the chauffeur, vehicle, and tolls. Every rate is set at booking with no post-event charges. For Dark Mofo multi-day attendees, Hobart corporate chauffeur hire offers priority booking across the festival.
What types of events does Marquee service at MONA?
Dark Mofo winter festival events, Mona Foma summer festival programs, major exhibition openings, gala dinners, weddings in the museum's spaces, and private art-patron events. MONA is Tasmania's most iconic cultural institution. Marquee provides chauffeur transfers for all major events. Marquee event chauffeur services cover cultural institutions across Australia. MONA spans 8,300 square metres across 3 underground levels, attracting over 700,000 visitors annually. The museum is 12 kilometres from Hobart CBD and 28 kilometres from Hobart Airport, approximately 30 minutes by chauffeur.

How do you handle Dark Mofo transfers during the winter festival?
Dark Mofo is an intense two-week festival in June, and chauffeur demand peaks across each evening of the program. Marquee manages Dark Mofo bookings with priority allocation: your chauffeur is assigned across the festival dates you are attending, learns your preferred transfer patterns between CBD hotels, MONA, and festival city venues, and adapts to late program changes. Festival nights often run past midnight in Hobart’s cold, and the climate-controlled warm vehicle waiting at MONA’s entrance is a genuine comfort at 1am. Book by April for June travel.
