A number of taxi services operate in & around Melbourne. Taxi cab ranks can be found near many inner city shopping areas, or they can be booked over the phone.
Used & Hire Cars

The surrounding area is a busy informal trading spot for secondhand cars & vans - notice boards are full of car sale notices with many bargains to be found. Joe's Garage (next door) offers a big range of used cars at budget prices & will buy them back at the end of your adventure.
Hire car options also abound, ranging from standard models to the budget end of the market. A good bet is Atlas Hire Car in Franklin Street, or Delta Car Rentals in A' Beckett Street.
