KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Footscray

  • Car hire in Footscray is a great opportunity to explore this little inner-city suburb in Melbourne and experience the greater Melbourne area as well. You can take time to visit the Footscray Community Arts Centre, visit the Heavenly Queen Temple and then head out to Melbourne and visit Queen Victoria Market and the Botanical Gardens, all without trying to figure out the public transport route and schedule.
  • Melbourne Airport (MEL) is the ideal place to pick up an airport car hire in Footscray because it's only about 20min from the suburb and it’ll likely be your arrival and departure point anyway. Around six car hire companies work from the airport, and you'll find the company desks in the ground-floor car park of all three terminals. Booking online is an easy way to avoid availability issues and speed up the process when you arrive. You'll be given the keys after the inspection and paperwork are done.
  • Driving your Footscray car hire around will be a breeze. Melbourne is known for having an efficient road network and well-maintained roads. The peak traffic hours in Footscray and the rest of the city are usually between 7:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. and between 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. during the week. The traffic in Footscray over the weekend is usually good but Melbourne city centre can be very busy. The one thing to watch out for is the local trams; remember to give way to them and don't overtake them.
  • There aren't a lot of difficulties in driving a car hire in Footscray, but you'll need to adhere to local road rules, especially the speed limit, and be aware of aggressive drivers. Avoid driving slowly in the passing lane and don't stop other drivers from passing. Drivers in and around Melbourne can be confrontational. If you've made a mistake, it's best to acknowledge your mistake and correct it. Avoid eye contact with aggressive drivers and never get involved in a confrontation.

If you plan on road tripping with a bunch of friends, a large SUV is always a popular choice. There are some hiking trails around the city, which you may need a 4x4 to explore properly. If you're there during the summer, splash out a little and grab a convertible vehicle.

  • What’s the speed limit in Footscray?

Rural roads on the outskirts and running between suburbs usually have a speed limit of 100 km/h. If you're driving on some of the major motorways or highways, the limit will be between 110 and 130 km/h. Keep your eyes open for road signs letting you know what the limit is.

  • Where are the best places to park in Footscray?

    The majority of parking in Footscray, especially in the heart of the suburb, is pay to park. But, there are free parking spaces available in different shopping areas. These will be indicated by a white-and-blue parking sign. If there are parking meters, you'll usually get the first 15min free and pay per 15min increment after that. At the car parks around the business and shopping areas, you'll be given a ticket upon entry and then you'll have to pay for the ticket before leaving the car park.

i came about 10 minutes before the pick up time but they said they cancell it because they don’t have my (phone number). i was really disappointed what in the world a person making a booking without giving any detail. location is atThrifty, footscray, Victoria. the cuctomer service was very unproffesional, and it looks like they have done it very frquently to their customers even if you we have a booking confirmation code. it was on the 23/12/2024.
