2014 VIC Champs - Getting around

[LeftyHoges]

Seeing as people have flights booked and are keen to get hire cars / rides booked also, let's get some things organised here... Post away and I'll update the table as we go...
As mentioned previously I'm fairly certain I'll have a sizeable trailer that we can put stacks of gear into so if guys need to book 4 to a car we should be able to work something out.

Didn't wanna start a new thread and thought the "getting around" thread seemed appropriate.

Wondering if anyone had a spare decent buggy that an old man could use for the week? I was hoping to carry all 4 rounds but old age has caught up to me and may need to use buggy a few times.

Cheers.

Simmsy.

Before you use it, what are you like at panel-beating a Clicgear?

[simmsy]

Not as good as Hocko or lefty

[PeteyD]

Quick Q For the clown car. Picking it up at around 1 pm.

Will we go straight from the airport to Woodlands, or go via the hotel and check in?

If we can check in separately to our room mates, then we should probably do that, but we don't want to push it close.

Allow yourselves around an hour and 15 (travel time only) from Airport to hotel, then to Woodlands. So another 15 to check-in.

So long as you leave the car pick-up by 1 you should be at Woodlands close enough to 2:30, 2:45 at the latest.

And if you haven't done so already (which you probably can't) I strongly advise you to get a CityLink pass.

[PeteyD]

What is a city link pass ? The toll road? Apparently the car mob handle that and bill. Might check again.

[PeteyD]

If I bring my toll beeper it should work. Just do not want to get charged twice

It will depend on who you have booked with Pete.
Europcar have their own toll tags so if you use yours you get charged twice.
Not sure about the others though.

[LeftyHoges]

Yeah, the toll road. And actually wouldn't be surprised if they do handle that.

Basically you'll use the toll road coming out of the airport down to the hotel on Thursday, going to Kew on Monday along the Eastern Freeway, and then from Kew to the airport after golf. So not a lot of use but enough.

[Bruce]

You may also be on a toll road down to the peninsula if you use a bit of Eastlink (which I do)

[idgolfguy]

So I get Europe car to add that to the bill?

[Shadesy]

Hire car company will ask you if you want it. Bill gets paid and receipt sent to your email

[Captain Nemo]

I just rang Thrifty, they have a tag in all there cars.
It just gets put on your bill when you return the car....

[LeftyHoges]

From St Kilda Rd would you suggest Nepean Hwy route, Dandenong Rd route, or Dandenong Rd onto Monash Freeway route?

[PeteyD]

Just rang Alpha, simply set up a pass when I book it. Costs $5.50 and I don't have to worry about forgetting my QLD one if I take it down there.

If I am driving, you are navigating.

[Marto65]

No problem.

[WBennett]

You are good at telling people where to go.

[LeftyHoges]

You are good at telling people where to go.

And what to do when they get there!

[PeteyD]

Not sure I'd let marto navigate .. or was that Mrs Marto ...

I think Courty still retains the "Person most likely to get everyone lost" title.

Damn straight. Worst. Navigator. Ever.
