Local tips for towing in Melbourne

💡Inner Melbourne has very limited street parking — check with your owner about pickup logistics if you're in the CBD or inner suburbs.
💡CityLink and EastLink tolls apply to some routes. Most trailers aren't linked to e-tags, so check if you need a day pass.
💡Council hard rubbish runs are popular in spring — book early as trailers fill up fast in October and November.
