Can I rent a car from Orlando Melbourne Intl. Airport (MLB)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Melbourne car reservation?

It's still good to read your rental policy though because there are some exceptions. If you can't find the answer there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Melbourne?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many visiting motorists in Melbourne. Offering superb gas mileage and easy handling and parking, they're perfect for getting around the city. A compact has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a little extra comfort and convenience. Prefer something bigger? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

  • You'll discover Daytona International Speedway and countless other amazing attractions in Daytona Beach. From Melbourne, it's 129 kilometres away.
  • Your next pit stop? Consider Orlando, which is around 88 kilometres away. Universal Studios Florida is one local draw card you won't want to miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
Usually, the rules are 21 years and over in Melbourne. It should be noted that most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers. Check before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a large car like a premium SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car rental in Melbourne?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've jumped into the driver's seat of a rental car for just NZ$82 a day. The second lowest daily price in Melbourne was NZ$92. 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?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and reserve a ride to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Melbourne, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25  some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
