While SIXT ride does provide an on-demand taxi service in other cities, at this time, SIXT does not have a partnership with local taxi providers in Melbourne. Standard taxis are less convenient to book or hail and pay for when compared to premium chauffeur service from SIXT ride. However, a standard taxi is easier, more direct, and more comfortable than public transportation.
