Melbourne questions
How long is the trip from Bairnsdale to Melbourne?
Around three and a half hours each way, depending on traffic and your destination in Melbourne. We plan pick-up times so you arrive with time to spare.
Can you get me to an early appointment in Melbourne?
Yes. Trips are timed around your appointment, not our 8am–7pm enquiry hours, so for a morning appointment we'll collect you early enough to arrive with time to spare.
Is a deposit required for Melbourne trips?
Yes. A deposit is required to secure Melbourne trips, with the balance due by 5pm the day before travel. Full details will be included in our booking terms.
Will you wait if my appointment runs late?
Yes. Your driver waits throughout your appointment. Simply send a text when you're finished and we'll meet you at the front entrance.
Can you bring me home after a hospital stay in Melbourne?
Yes. We offer one-way discharge pick-ups from Melbourne hospitals back home to East Gippsland.
Can two patients share a trip?
Yes. When two patients are travelling to the same hospital or town on the same day, they can share the trip and each pays a reduced per-patient rate. Appointment times need to be within two hours of each other, and the return trip leaves once both patients are finished. Up to four passengers can travel in total, so carers still travel free while seats are available. If one patient cancels, the other patient's trip goes ahead at the standard single-patient price.
