Question 4

What types of cars can I rent in Melbourne?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Where can I go on a road trip from Melbourne?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

How do I find the best car hire deals in Melbourne with Expedia?

Question 7

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

What do you need to hire a car in Melbourne?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

Where can I find a Melbourne hire car if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

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!
