I am no go between - contact Jimmy directly

Thanks @Cruiser Elite I have only used Jimmy in Melbourne and it worked really well. My rides were on time in a Lexus.

Ditto

Returning home from Bali on Tue Sept 15 it was after midnight when one of Jimmy's boys collected us at MEL for the 1hr ride home - unbeknown to me on the journey somehow my Passport jumped out of top pocket and onto taxi floor.

I went looking for it Wed morning and could not find it anywhere. Jimmy sent me a message Thu morn to say the driver found it in his taxi and Jimmy would drop it into me next week.

Fri after he had a fare our way and dropped it into work for me - that right there is another reason why I only use his services.

Was collected at home this morning to go to MEL by Jimmy himself - he told me he is hoping to be available to collect DrRon tomorrow so he can meet the legend in person - if not him probably his cousin Abbi as he is his other senior ops manager

Getting out of the MCG on grand final day we walked downhill to get a taxi. Yes we got scammed at $120 for a $30 ride. We won’t do that again
We had used Jimmy’s service to get to the ground right near the entrance as I had a disability pass to show.

I should add also that currently if you arr into MEL Jimmys pickup point still remains same being outside Parkroyal Hotel - new pickup point not finalised just yet

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Jimmy’s collection point for pax arriving into MEL has been forcibly moved from outside Parkroyal Hotel to the new ‘Pick Up’ area - here are instructions I rcvd on arr this morning:



When you get to actual pickup area just wait at the crossing for your car to arrive.

I was dropped off at the new drop zone on Saturday. It is quite close to where the buggy picks up but no schedule, buggy or staff to let you know when it will arrive.
And pick up was hassle free.

Is there a disabled drop off?

If no Pre Booked Mobility assistance then approach the Mobility hubs
Bookings can be made 24hrs ahead or call 0492 868 960 if no one at the Mobility Hub

I'm not sure but the row we went down 2 of the parking spots were disabled with Mercedes van successfully occupying both.

parking spots were disabled

Yes I meant disabled drop off bays.

As per @Quickstatus, it seems it is best to prebook disability assistance 24 hours in advance (no charge). Failing that, call the indicted number. Also the drop off area should have an operative "mobility hub".
