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

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.

What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?

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.
