Melbourne EV Car Ride Service - GoBlu-EV

[kookaburra75]

Thanks for the heads up. We've just booked them for a pick up when we fly into Melbourne tomorrow afternoon. $26 to go to our hotel in the city, after the $14 first go discount (normally $40 for the trip). I'll post a report afterwards.

As a follow up, we finally got to Melbourne after our flight was progressively delayed, up to two hours. When I first made the booking, they confirmed via WhatsApp. I used that to let them know about the delays, and they adjusted the booking at their end. I was grateful for their patience, and able to accommodate the changes. It was a quick run into town. I'll be certainly using them again.

We got back home last night after three and s a bit days in Melbourne. We used GoBlu-EV for three of of our four rides, as they weren't available for one time. Although, the Uber we got was a BYD Atto3, so it was four out of four for using an EV.
No issues in recommending them to others. They looked after us when our flight kept getting delayed. I had put my flight details into the notes field so they had that info. The rest of the rides they got there 10-15 minutes early, which suited us. Besides the lessened environmental impact, they were 20% cheaper than Uber.
Thanks @Batterytraveller for the tip

+1 in favour of Go-Blu.
They confirmed the booking the day before, they arrived a few minutes early, they alerted their arrival by sms, the car was clean & tidy, the driver was courteous & professional, and the price was very competitive (& even more so with the first ride extra discount).

I notice that Go-Blu has a referral program- dm me for a referral code (I get $10, you get 20% off every ride for a month)

Do you always need to pre-book, or can you hail one from the app like Uber?

 

[Cruiser Elite]

They only have a small fleet as of now so yes you would need to pre-book

So a pre-booked Uber is $116,97 V GoBlu $86.48 - I’ll check DiDi when I arrive

Edit: DiDi $113.04

A tad tardy with a 10min wait but we are now on our way
