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.
