For less than $100 per month: Zone 1 Metcard, Zone 2 weekend access, 1 hour+ 100km car use including petrol
plus a reward card entitling you to discounts in Melbourne.

  1. Purchase a $25 public transport user group membership to get a discounted yearly ticket.
    Including the fee it's $1040 for a year (=$87 per month)

    http://www.ptua.org.au/members/offers/

  2. Join city rewards for $29

    http://www.thepegasusgroup.com.au/com/cityrewards/join.htm

    City reward membership entitles you to 50% off flexicar membership
    and 5 hours of free driving.

  3. Now using the annual metcard join Flexicar using this promotion:

    The joining fee is $50 but this is halved to $25 if you are a city rewards member
    (so you are paying $4 extra to get the city rewards membership really)

    http://www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au/news/sponsorship/metropol…

    The deal is free monthly access + 1 free hour of driving per month for 12 months.
    The 1 hour includes up to 100km of travel including fuel.

    There is an annual insurance fee of $50 (equates to $4.20 per month)

  4. For a grand total of $87 + $4.20 + $4.50 = $95.70 per month you are getting:

    1. Unlimited Zone 1 public transport travel

    2. Unlimited Zone 1 + Zone 2 weekend travel (monthly/yearly Zone 1 can be used in Zone 2 on weekends)
      http://www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au/fares_tickets/metropolita…

    3. 1 hour of car use (up to 100km) including fuel per month
      (@ 7L/100km where petrol is $1.40 this is $10 value!)

    4. An additional 5 hours of free car access (need to confirm this bonus)

      and

    5. City rewards membership discount entitlements

Additional 'driving hours' are $12 each and include up to 100km within a 24hr period - including fuel!
So if you had the car for 5 hours you'd pay $12 x 5 and get 100km included.
(Capped at $80 for any 24hour period and charged at $0.15 per km over 100km)

    Wow, impressive combination of bargains.

  • bagachin on 18/04/2008 - 01:13

    Mn……….1 hour…..i wonder what you can do with that little amount of time….in other words, the practicality is doubtful….

  • 00 on 18/04/2008 - 06:20

    1 hour is very useful for someone living in the inner suburbs who would be using public transport otherwise. Such as grocery shopping, driving to the outer regions to pick someone up… as a taxi alternative. It is 1 hour minimum and the 2nd hour would cost $12 including fuel.

    Thats a great deal, great research gone into that.

  • SmartCover on 18/04/2008 - 10:13

    impressive!!!! this is the bargain of the month (we should have something like this)

  • camson on 18/04/2008 - 10:29

    Yeah.. this is a great deal… I'm starting to wonder if I should sell my car and take this up!

    Obviously you're going to use it for more likely 2-3 hours a month, however $12 an hour is pretty good if you just need it for an afternoon.. and much cheaper than a cab or a daily rental car.

    The city rewards gives pretty hefty discounts on parking in the CBD as well. So it'a good combination to have.

    sounds like a great deal for people living in the inner city!

    The price beats having to take a cab, or buying a car, if you have to move large objects across town to someone else's house.
