Check the year and admission date
The Royal Show’s official website lists the 2026 edition at Melbourne Showgrounds from 24 September to 4 October. Future dates should be confirmed with the organiser before booking. Choose the entry and arrival plan for the actual day you will attend. A previous-year programme should not be treated as a current timetable or access map.
Allow for more belongings on the way home
Families can return with showbags, purchases and tired children as well as the pram or bags taken at the start. Include that likely load when discussing the vehicle. Count every child as a passenger and arrange any required restraint in advance. Large purchases or unusual items need explicit confirmation; extra space should not be assumed simply because the outward trip fits.
Choose a return time suited to the family
Decide whether the group will leave after daytime activities or stay for an evening programme. Use the current show information to plan the day, and allow time to reunite and walk to the meeting point. If children need to leave earlier, contact DEVZ to discuss a change rather than assuming the chauffeur can collect immediately from inside the grounds.
Details to have ready

Before you book
Can I book next year using the 2026 dates?
No. Check the organiser’s confirmed dates for the edition you intend to attend, then provide the actual travel date when requesting availability.
Does an online estimate reserve a vehicle?
No. An estimate helps you compare the journey and vehicle options. Review and confirm the full booking; availability and the itinerary must be agreed.
