Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Melbourne?

Can I rent a car from Tullamarine Airport (MEL)?
Tullamarine Airport (MEL) has plenty of options within a quick commute. Check out the offers from Hertz, Avis, Firefly, Europcar or Enterprise.
What happens if I need to cancel my Melbourne car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has information about this. In most situations, complete refunds are available if a booking is canceled more than six hours ahead of the arranged pickup time. It’s a good idea to read the policy to see if there are any exemptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Melbourne?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the number one pick for many rental customers in Melbourne. Featuring exceptional mileage and easy handling and parking, they’re perfect for cruising around the city. A compact car is roomier than an economy vehicle, so you can cruise around in a little more comfort and style. Prefer something bigger? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Melbourne?
It’s no secret that Melbourne is one of the most popular destinations in Victoria. But you’ll also find plenty of other wonderful places to explore when you reserve a set of wheels and hit the highway. Here are some top tips to get your road trip off to a great start:

  • Boasting sights and experiences galore, Ballarat is around 65 mi from Melbourne. First stop on the list? Make your way to Sovereign Hill, one of the city’s biggest highlights.
  • Around 80 mi away, Bendigo is another location worth putting on your road trip itinerary. Don’t miss Bendigo Art Gallery while you’re in the area.
  • No vacation is complete without a wander around Grampians National Park. This renowned nature spot is roughly 150 mi from Melbourne. Get out into the fresh air and relax!

It’s easy to find an awesome deal with Expedia. Just choose your favorite ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from major rental suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you bundle your Melbourne car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
Drivers aged 21 and above can go road-tripping around Melbourne in a rental car. If you’re a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You’ll usually be limited to a few car categories, such as economy and mid-size, and may also be required to purchase comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
Renting a car in Melbourne is easy. Generally, all you’ll need is your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. After selecting your favorite set of wheels, check your policy to ensure there are no further requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Melbourne?
In Melbourne, like all of Australia, you drive on the left side of the road. Take things slow and get comfortable driving on the left if you’ve never done it before.
What is the cheapest car rental in Melbourne?
With rental prices starting as low as $36 and $37 a day in Melbourne within the past seven days, you’ll be cruising off with your own fantastic deal in no time. 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 rent a car for a month or longer in Melbourne?
You can, and the terrific news is companies often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Melbourne and cruise away with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Melbourne companies will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Melbourne?
A thorough insurance policy is a great choice for your upcoming Melbourne vacation. That’s why we suggest purchasing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you’re covered for and whether you need it.
