Driving around the city of Melbourne, Australia can be tricky for visiting business clients or tourists who aren't used to the street arrangements, public transport system and traffic laws. Besides driving on the left-hand side, Melbourne drivers must contend with a tram system that increases traffic challenges. Don't worry about parking, traffic congestion or "hook turns" - hire luxury vehicles for your business or recreational needs.

Melbourne is situated on the Port Phillip Bay with the Yarra River running northeastward through the city. Downtown Melbourne streets are oriented along this river, giving the entire section a slight angle compared to the outer suburban roads that have a more northsouth arrangement. The three major Melbourne freeways are the West Gate, the Monash and the Tullamarine - which are connected by the CityLink, a non-stop expressway.

Melbourne has elegant streetscapes, Victorian architecture and popular jazz venues that offer a rich cultural experience to visitors. Many events, festivals and activities take place in Melbourne, including the Australian Grand Prix and Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.

Melbourne's public transit system - consisting of tram, train and bus transports - is called the "Met." The tram system has special signs, lanes and its own unique problems. Combined with pedestrians, vehicles, buses and taxis, driving in Melbourne can be confusing, hectic and challenging.

Don't waste time looking for a parking spot or walking to-and-from your vehicle; with a luxury limousine you can devote more of your time to enjoying the city. Hire professional limousine drivers who know the streets, traffic rules and local hotspots.

Car hire Melbourne can give you the peace of mind for travelling around this wonderful city without worrying about any possible driving problems.
