The deal runs from September 26 to October 6, perfectly timed for the busiest week on the sporting calendar, when both the AFL and NRL Grand Finals take place in Melbourne and Sydney.

13cabs Chief Operating Officer Olivia Barry said the offer was about making finals week safer, more affordable and more community-minded.
