How much is a rental car per day in Melbourne?

Can I rent a car from Tullamarine Airport (MEL)?

Read through your agreement for any exclusions. Your booking details will have more details, or jump onto our Customer Service Portal for more info.
What types of cars can I rent in Melbourne?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the first choice for many rental customers in Melbourne. With terrific mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're perfect for cruising around the city. A compact car has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, which means you can travel around in a little extra comfort. Prefer something bigger? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.

Melbourne is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Rent some wheels and head off to see what's in the wider area. Here are some great options:

  • You'll discover Sovereign Hill and many other interesting attractions in Ballarat. From Melbourne, it's 105 kilometres away.
  • Your next stop? It has to be Bendigo, which is around 129 kilometres away. Bendigo Art Gallery is one local hot spot you won't want to miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Melbourne.

Also, young motorists are often restricted from renting specialty or luxury vehicles. Read through the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any hassles when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
While requirements can differ between outlets, the essentials are a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.

Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that are in Melbourne. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25  take note that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
