Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Melbourne?
Daily hire prices were as low as £90 within the past seven days. With rates like this, cruising around Melbourne in your own set of wheels is an affordable and convenient way to visit the sights.
Can I hire a car from Tullamarine Airport (MEL)?
There are plenty of car rental centres close to Tullamarine Airport (MEL), but none are located inside the terminal. Your closest options are Budget, Europcar, Thrifty, Avis and Enterprise.
What happens if I need to cancel my Melbourne car reservation?
Browse over your hire policy to be sure, but almost all prepaid rentals qualify for a complete refund if you advise us at least six hours ahead of collecting the car. There are some exclusions though. Your confirmation will have more info, or just click through to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Melbourne?
Dart around in a mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the most commonly booked hire type in Melbourne. They're a joy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're cruising around big cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a bit more room and comfort at a price that won't hurt your budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Melbourne?
With your own vehicle, exploring the surrounding areas is a walk in the park. Melbourne is an obvious place to begin, but there's lots more to keep you on the move in the region. Pick up the keys to a hire car, fling your bags in the trunk and check out these other awesome locations:

  • Roughly 65 miles from Melbourne, Ballarat is a must-do for many visitors. With popular sights such as Sovereign Hill, you'll have no shortage of things to keep you busy here.
  • Another city that's a hit with travellers is Bendigo, around 80 miles away. Bendigo Art Gallery is just one of many reasons why people keep returning.
  • Get some distance between you and the fast pace of the city at Mount Hotham. Approximately 130 miles from Melbourne, it's the perfect place to hang out in nature.

How do I find the best car hire deals in Melbourne with Expedia?
It's easy to pick up an awesome deal with Expedia. Simply choose your preferred car type, select your dates and pick-up and drop-off points, and browse offers from all the popular rental brands. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Melbourne car hire with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
You need to be at least 21 to jump behind the wheel of a hire vehicle in Melbourne. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Many companies will also charge a fee for young renters. Check the rules before booking and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to hire a car in Melbourne?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pick-up date, check with your hire provider whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What is the cheapest car hire in Melbourne?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the lowest daily rate was £90. The next best price to hire a ride in Melbourne was £104 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Melbourne?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Melbourne, so go on and extend your hard-earned holiday! Just enter your trip dates into our long-term car hire deals page and find your perfect ride.
Where can I find a Melbourne hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between hire suppliers, so you'll have to do a little research. Managed to find a Melbourne outlet that does hire to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific news! Just bear in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each hire car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
