The White Night Festival and Pick Up Services

By | cabinminutes | No Comments

What is a White Night Festival?

The White Nights are a kind of all-night arts festival held in many cities in the summer. The festival started in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The white nights is the name given in areas of high latitude to the weeks around the summer during which sunsets are late, sunrises are early, and darkness is never complete. The first city outside of Russia to host such a festival was Paris, which has had its famous Nuit Blanche festival since 2001.

History of White Nights in Melbourne

Melbourne, Australia, held its inaugural White Night festival in 2013. Then it continued every year, and the number of visitors is growing exponentially. The third White Night was in 2015 which expanded the festival to more venues and locations. The National Gallery of Victoria and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image featured free exhibitions and films. The fourth White Night in 2016 attracted more than 580,000 people.

Enjoy Zero Card Fee On Airport Taxi

By | cabinminutes | No Comments

Have you noticed that the Victoria Taxis are changing for the better? There are multiple things being done by Australian Government to value add to the Taxi Service Industry. There is a new Driver knowledge test added to make sure your Taxi driver is more informed and knowledgeable about locations and services. The changing the colour of your cab can make it easy for you to identify a particular cab service & there are rules set for advertising in taxis. As a part of these reforms, there are reductions to the surcharge for card payment for taxis.

The surcharge incurred when passengers pay their taxi fare using a debit or credit card, voucher or app is 5 per cent. It is half of the original surcharge, and it is inclusive of the GST. Now 5% is the maximum amount the Taxi service can charge.

As a passenger, if you get a bill with more than 5 % surcharge, please retain your receipt and contact either the payment provider or your card company/bank in the first instance. Passengers wishing to provide feedback or make a complaint should contact the TSC

The five per cent surcharge is the maximum amount that can be charged on top of the fare and is inclusive of GST. If the fare is $100.00, inclusive of the base fare and all other additional payments as agreed along with GST, then a surcharge of no more than $5.00 may be charged. The total cost to a customer is $105.00. The service can’t add Merchant fees to the surcharge.

A good taxi service will get you to your intended destination promptly. The service is also much more likely to help you get your vacation off to a positive start. As every form transport from Melbourne Airport is not as comfortable and convenient, you can select a proven service. Now that we are connected, there is no need to spend a lot of time worrying about this anymore.

We provide multiple ways to book your favourite cab. You can call us, Book Online through our website; there is another number provided for enquiries, send a text message or send us an email. Visit our Facebook page and book from there also. We have provided multiple ways for our passengers to reach us making it very convenient for them.

We have decided to take a step forward, and for next week we will be waving card payment fees for Visa, MasterCard, and Amex for those who pays online.

Continuing Airport Pickups From Essendon, Avalon & Starting From Moorabbin!

By | cabinminutes | No Comments

We hope you are enjoying the Australian Open 2017 and having fun in Melbourne these days. We would like to introduce you to three main airports from Melbourne for your convenience.

Essendon Airport is covering over 750 acres of land, and it is a public airport serving commercial, corporate-jet, charter and general aviation flights. It is next to the intersection of the Tullamarine and Calder Freeways. It was Melbourne’s first international airport, and in 1970, Tullamarine Airport replaced Essendon as Melbourne’s main airport. We have regular pickups from Essendon airport.

This area was originally known as St Johns, after an early landowner. The airport was proclaimed by the Commonwealth Government in 1921, as Essendon Aerodrome.

Avalon Airport is the second busiest of the four airports serving Melbourne and is in Avalon; Victoria is which is 50 kilometres southwest of Melbourne and 15 km north-east of Geelong. The Avalon Airport Australia Pty Ltd operates this Airport. We are providing pickups from Avalon airport to Melbourne and suburbs.

The airport is in the land of the original indigenous owners, the Wuthaurung People, and a scatter stone area is preserved on the Avalon Airport site, out of respect for the original owners. The land has experienced several changes over the past century.

In the beginning, the airport was a sheep and cattle farm and homestead, founded by James Austin, an immigrant from Glastonbury, Somerset, England. In the year 1952, the Commonwealth Government bought 1,754 hectares of land at Avalon. This land was deemed to be of poor quality farmland due to the abundance of volcanic rocks.

The airport was opened in 1953, to cater for the production of military aircraft. Previously, the Government Aircraft Factories at Fisherman’s Bend, Melbourne had used a runway beside their manufacturing unit. However, newer jet aircraft required a longer runway for safe operations and the airport was further developed to meet the growing needs.

Moorabbin Airport is an aviation airport for light aircraft. It is in between the Melbourne suburbs of Heatherton, Cheltenham, Dingley Village and Mentone Australia. It opened in December 1949. The airport name was changed to Moorabbin (which is also known as Harry Hawker) Airport in 1989, after pioneering Australian aviator Harry George Hawker.

We are stating airport pickups from these airports to everywhere in Melbourne with luxury vehicles and expect the same support from our esteemed customers. Keep enjoying Melbourne travelling in comfortable cabs.
