For urgent bookings

Please call our Treasury Reserve Service Centre 03 7005 9255 to check availability.

For bookings over continuous 30 days, you must complete an application for long term hire.

Approval is required from the Department Secretary/Agency CEO/or Delegate.

Once you have booked a vehicle and your booking has been approved by your manager, you will receive an email confirmation.

On the day of your vehicle collection, you will receive a text message to your mobile phone advising the collection time and location.

You will need to present a current driver licence when collecting your car.

Cars are available for collection 7am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) from the following location:

Treasury Reserve Service Centre (access via Treasury Place)

Basement, 55 St Andrews Place
Call: 03 7005 9255

Arrangements can be made for collection prior to 7 am and after 5 pm when required.

Damage or urgent repairs must be reported immediately to the Service Centre. You are responsible for contacting roadside assist for issues such as:

• flat battery
• flat tyre
• breakdown
• out of fuel
• lockout.

You must report this to the Service Centre so that future bookings can be managed as a result of delays.

Accidents

At the scene of an accident, you should:

• exchange vehicle and personal details with others involved
• provide contact details for the Shared Service Provider Car Pool Service
• notify police in the event of property damage or injury
• contact the Service Centre if the vehicle is not safe drive
• If possible take of photographs of the vehicle damage and send to carbookings@dgs.vic.gov.au

When you return the car you must:

• report the incident to your Service Centre Officer
• complete an insurance claim form and return to the Service Centre
• advise your department or agency management.

Theft

If your car is stolen, you must notify the police and the Service Centre immediately. The driver must report stolen or lost e-tags, fuel cards and car park passes to our Service Centre.

The personal and departmental property, such as laptops, phones or sunglasses stolen from vehicles are not covered by insurance. Personal and departmental valuables should not be left in cars unattended or in plain view.

When you return your car, ensure that:

• it has a full tank of fuel
• all personal items and rubbish are removed from the vehicle
• the log sheet is completed correctly.

To see instructions on how to fill in the log sheet, please go to I want to know how to fill in the vehicle log sheet tab on this page.

If you would like to rate our service, please complete a short 30 second survey.

After-hours returns

Treasury Reserve Service Centre

The office is open from 7 am to 5 pm on weekdays. Cars can be returned 24/7 as passes are available in vehicles to provide entry through the Lansdowne Street Boom Gate and the car park grille gate. The drop boxes for vehicle keys and logbooks are available at any time.

What needs to be done?

The log sheet needs to be completed by the driver at the end of each trip, regardless of whether the travel was for business or private purposes.

While it may take a few minutes to complete the log book, please use a separate line entry for each day’s travel use and ensure that you fill in all the fields.

What happens if I don’t complete the log book?

All drivers are required to fill in the log book properly, as there are significant financial implications for your department/agency if this is not done, or if log sheet records are incomplete.

Importantly, filling in the log sheet is a condition of hiring the vehicle and an incomplete log book may impact your ability to hire a vehicle in future.

We appreciate your assistance in ensuring that we both can meet our legal and financial obligations in relation to accessing pool cars.

You can obtain the log sheet by contacting SSP car pool on 03 7005 9255 or carbookings@dgs.vic.gov.au or download it below:

After completion, please send the log sheet to carbookings@dgs.vic.gov.au.
