Frequently Asked Questions: Spring Carnival Van Hire
Why should I book van hire with a driver for the Spring Racing Carnival?
Luxury Vans Melbourne is a solution for private transfers as public transport and taxis are overcrowded and unreliable during race days. A pre-booked van with a driver ensures comfort, style, and guaranteed pick-up and drop-off.
What is included with minibus hire Melbourne for race day transfers?
Professional chauffeurs, luxury seating, air conditioning, luggage space, and flexible multi-stop pickups and drop-offs.
Can you collect passengers from multiple locations across Melbourne?
Yes. Multi-stop pickups are available so family, friends, or colleagues can all be collected on the way to Flemington.
Do you provide flexible drop-offs after the races?
Yes, drop-offs can be set in an itinerary to suit your group, travelling to homes, hotels, or venues in the city.
How far in advance should I book my Spring Carnival van hire?
