DRIVE A2B December 2020

All pilots and cabin crew are also
required to quarantine.
Therefore at this stage there is not a
high demand for taxis, hire cars and
ride share vehicles to be transporting
these people.
Melbourne Airport
We recently attended the quarterly
Melbourne Airport Land Authority
meeting and they shared the following
updates:-
• VHA-Z Hire Cars can continue
to park on Level 1 in one of the
48 bays available for hire car
vehicles;
• Due to cladding around the Park
Royal Hotel, Hire Cars can also
park in the general public area;
• Prebooked taxis can pick up in
the T1 Hire Car ground floor area;
• As the airport is now cashless
there is a reduced number of
payment machines;
• Hire Car Drivers must have
a current permit, and
communications are being sent
to drivers advising them of this;
• Everyone MUST wear masks
inside the terminals at all times
• QR code signage has been placed
at all taxi ranks and Rank Officers
will encourage passengers to
scan these;
• Space at the entrance of the Taxi
Holding Area has been allocated
for taxi drivers to clean and
sanitise their vehicles before they
enter the Holding Bay. Drivers
must use products provided by
themselves to clean their cars.
Reminder
We must continue to use safe
hygiene practices. Until such time as
the majority of people in the world
have been vaccinated for COVID-19,
we must take every precaution
possible to keep healthy. So, clean
your cars after each trip, always wear
a fresh face mask, and remember to
wear gloves when handling luggage.
Keep safe and healthy.
Merry Christmas
& Happy New Year!
Our warmest wishes to you and your family.
We want to take this opportunity to thank our members for their
endless support during an extremely tough year.
We strive to continue serving you in the new year, and make our
success your success.
