KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Box Hill
- Choosing car hire in Box Hill is ideal for those wanting to explore the greater Melbourne area without trying to figure out the local bus routes or shelling out for high-priced local taxis. You can explore things like the Box Hill Gardens and Box Hill Town Hall or head to Melbourne city centre in under 20min, or head to places like Flinders Street Station or Federation Square. Do all of this on your own time, without a schedule that limits you to where you can go and for how long.
- A close airport to find a car hire in Box Hill is Melbourne Airport (MEL); this will probably be your arrival point and departure point for your trip, so it's ideal for your Box Hill car hire. Around six car hire companies operate out of the airport, on the ground floor of the Terminal 1, 2 and 3 car parks. These car hires are located directly opposite the international departures and arrivals in Terminal 2.
- Driving in Box Hill isn't much different to driving in the centre of Melbourne, except that the traffic is much lighter in the suburbs. You'll need to keep an eye out for trams and remember to give them the right of way if there is an encounter. Drinking and driving is heavily enforced throughout Australia, so make sure you don't consume alcohol while driving your car hire in Box Hill. Cars drive on the left-hand side of the road in Box Hill.
- A difficult thing about driving in Box Hill and throughout the city is the heavy traffic. You'll want to avoid the roads during peak morning traffic between 07:30 and 8:30, and during the later afternoon commute from around 17:30 until 19:00. Outside of that, the vast network of well-maintained roads in Box Hill and the rest of the city make driving a breeze. Make sure you stick to the speed limit and obey the rules of the road and you'll be good.
