It’s that time of year, the “richest two miles in the world” is coming. The Melbourne Cup is Australia’s most prestigious horse race and one of the richest handicaps in the world. The race is held annually by the Victoria Racing Club at the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. The race starts at noon here in Perth on the first of November.
If you are thinking about heading out to watch the race with a great crowd, we highly suggest making your way to the Ascot Racecourse. The Ascot Racecourse will be hosting guests for the Melbourne Cup and the betting action will be in full swing. More than 20,000 people are expected to be at Ascot for the race and they will have full access to a full display of large screen TVs, access to all of the bars and restaurants, and, of course, the Burgess Queen Stakes with a shot at winning $100,000. Tickets for the event range in price from around $25 all the way up to $345 for villa access.
The last thing you want on your mind if you are planning on heading to the Ascot Racecourse for the Melbourne Cup is transportation and parking for your family and friends, especially if you will be drinking. One excellent solution would be to rent a limousine from Limousine Royalty in Perth.
Hiring a limousine takes all of the stress of fighting with traffic and finding parking out of your day, not to mention the fact that you will be making an head turning entrance to the race. All of our limos are late models and decked out with every option available including flat screen TVs, club style stereos and sub woofers, memory stick slots to play all of your favourite music, laser lights, dance floor and, of course, a fully stocked bar.
If you are travelling with a large group, we can accommodate everyone in our brand new 20 seat H2 stretch Hummer limo. The interior is equipped with two huge 50 inch flat screen TVs, a raised roof, and three fully stocked bars to get you started before you arrive.
If a sedan limo is more your style, we have a brand new 12 seat Chrysler 300 stretch limousine with a jet door. This white limo has class written all over it and is ideal for transferring smaller groups to and from sporting events such as the Melbourne Cup. The Chrysler 300 features multiple large screen TVs, two-tone leather seating, and three fully stocked bars. The middle jet door and raised ceiling makes this car ideal for people wearing formal clothes and dresses, offering maximum mobility.
Hiring a limousine not only offers a world class entrance to the race, but it is also much more cost effective than you would imagine considering the costs for multiple people paying for parking or the costs of multiple taxis for a group of people. Contact Limousine Royalty today to book your limousine for the Melbourne Cup while openings are available.
