For those times when you need a private vehicle, Melbourne also has plenty of car share, rideshare and taxi options.

Car sharing

Car sharing offers all the convenience of having your own car without the cost. It’s also better for the environment, as it reduces the number of private vehicles on the road.

Once you've registered online with a car-sharing service, you can book a car online and collect it from a location near you.

Rideshares

Rideshare companies also operate in Melbourne, along with specialised rideshare operators.

To book a rideshare, download your chosen rideshare app on your phone. You'll then be able to book yourself a ride whenever you need one.

Taxis

You can also easily get a taxi anywhere in Melbourne. In busy areas like the CBD, you can hail a taxi on the street or head to one of the many cab ranks. Alternatively, you can book a taxi online or by phone with any of the city's cab companies.
