KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Melbourne

  • For travelers with flights to Melbourne, you may find yourself landing at Melbourne Airport, Essendon Airport, or Avalon Airport. Luckily for would-be car renters, all three airports feature on-site hire counters. For Melbourne Airport, the hire car center is found on the ground floor of the airport in Terminal T123’s parking garage. In Essendon Airport and Avalon Airport, visitors can find the hire counters in the respective main terminal buildings.
  • No trip to Australia is complete without a few road trips. Fortunately for travelers renting a car in Melbourne, many of Australia’s wonders are within a short drive of the city. Some of the top spots to visit include Yarra Valley and its wonderful wineries, and Phillip Island, where you will find some of Australia’s most famous animals such as koalas, wallabies, and even penguins.
  • Drivers new to Melbourne should be aware of the city’s rush hour traffic jams, which run from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. However, even though congestion can be quite severe in Melbourne during those times, some smart navigation and route planning can help to mitigate the situation. For instance, it pays to avoid Punt Road and Princes Street in the central downtown area during rush hour.
  • Besides driving on the left side of the road, drivers in Melbourne should keep their eyes open for trams and, in particular, Melbourne’s famed hook turns. Hook turns are right turns that are made in the left lane because a tram is also crossing the intersection. Signage will be posted to indicate to drivers when hook turns are present and where to turn.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Melbourne for $53 or less
  • Book your car hire in Melbourne at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport car hire locations in Melbourne are around 22% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Premium hire cars in Melbourne are around 33% more expensive than other car types, on average

other than being on the opposite side of the road, it was easy driving and the traffic isn't bad. Public transport is really easy and often faster than driving. We rented because we had to go far out of town where public transport wasn't possible.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Generally easy and do keep to speed limits :)

Opening an account with Linkt is important otherwise the admin charges on the tollways just add up too much.

FAQs about hiring a car in Melbourne

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Melbourne?

    While Melbourne may not have as narrow of streets as you would see in many European cities, the roads can still be a bit compact compared to roads in the U.S. Thus, travelers renting cars would be best off sticking to a compact or smaller vehicle, especially when taking streetside parallel parking into consideration.

  • What’s the speed limit in Melbourne?

    Speed limits in Melbourne, and in the state of Victoria in general, run between 40 km/h (25 mph) and 50 km/h (31 mph) on city roads, 100 km/h (62 mph) on rural roads and 110 km/h (68 mph) on highways and motorways.

  • Where are the best places to park in Melbourne?

    Streetside parking in greater Melbourne is fairly available but, once you get into the central business district, parking can become fairly scarce. Because of this, it is highly recommended that drivers park in one of the many parking garages dispersed across Melbourne CBD. Drivers should note that if you plan on doing a bit of shopping while you are downtown, you can often validate your parking ticket in a nearby store to earn a parking ticket refund.

    On average a car hire in Melbourne costs $71 per day.

Lots of hidden fees from Hertz. Sneaky wording in the email as well. We anticipated paying $340.73. The email we received had a total of $509.66 - I had anticipated some fees and taxes. When we got there we ended up paying $1176 for 2 days. The email was as follows; Due at pick-up: $340.73 Base Price: $88.38 Taxes and Fees: $252.35 You will pay AUD 509.66 at pick-up Which is far from the $1176 that we paid for a 2 day car rental. Very misleading and they don’t tell you until you get there so you’re stuck paying for it.

Sales tactics were a little dodgy at pick-up. The reception staff tried to convince me to pay for an upgrade to a larger vehicle which I declined. It turned out that the company did not have the compact I had ordered and knew this, hence the hard-sell for a larger vehicle. I opted to stay with my more modest choice and was rewarded with a 'free upgrade'.

Pick up from the airport took a long time and then the actual handover of the car took over 45 minutes. I was given a hard sell on upgrade of car and insurance. Car itself was fine and drop off was easy. There were a number of upset customers unable to get on the mini van to the airport and one family missing their flight all together.

After booking for a 12am pickup my reservation was changed to 12pm. When i contacted Apex they told me that i can only book aa after hours pick up directly through them. Had no choice but to cancel my original booking and rebook only to find that the price directly through Apex was $400 more than my original booking. Need to specify these things prior to booking through 3rd parties. Not happy and will not use again

pickup people were great. Location was a bit out of the way but easily reachable on public transport. My huge problem is that we returned the car about 90 minutes over a 24 hour period so they charged us an extra day of rental (at half price) which I was ok with. What I was NOT ok with is that they also charged (full price) and additional day of ALL the fees--insurance, tax, one way drop off, administration recovery, Vehicle rego recovery, credit card surcharge and prepaid tolls. All these additional fees were over $100 extra. I was not told at either pickup or return that these fees were charged daily. When I contacted them they would not refund ANY of these fees, not even a 50% reduction. I had a rental from Hertz during the same vacation and picked up the car a day early and was only charged ONE day of all those fees (for a 4 day rental) I will NEVER EVER rent from Thrifty again--it was highway robbery how much they charged and now I have to get the credit card company involved and it's wasting a lot of my time. For approximately $100 they would have been able to have a reasonably satisfied customer, but they sure don't now!

If one could find the BP service station at the airport as I drive over there much I believe I now I have been fined as I was looking around for sign where to go and lights change I asked the police where the BP service station was and then I still couldn't find it, I think it's wrong what you do to your customers about the fuel $5.40 a litre . I was getting upset and and confused as I went up into the carpark the one that as a bridge I had ten minutes to get out before I had to pay I went around in circles to find the service station.

Daniel, Dec 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Staff was fine - but the car as advertised was NOT what was produced, which was acknowledged. But there was nothing to do by that point as we had to leave.

Cons:

The car as advertised should be the car that is given. I gave up a cheaper reservation, closer to home for this one. Just wrong.

6.8 Okay

Taylor, Jan 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The car was great and had no issues

Cons:

I hired the car expecting to pay the quoted price on the website. Instead when I arrived to Avis with my itinerary in hand for the week ahead I was charged double by hidden fees for my being 23years old. Not a word was mentioned about by the website nor the staff until the keys were being handed to me and asked to sign the paper work. At that moment in time it’s too late to go through another rental agency or cancel plans so I had to bite the bullet. Please read all fine print and ask questions before you book.

Could not hire car without a PHYSICAL credit card for security deposit. You have my ID, my contact info, and im happy to pay a security deposit but because my wallet is in a different state you can't rent out a car so I can get home? It's 2022, what a joke

Terrible, why say pick up at the airport then send you off-site to collect the car. I specifically booked airport pickup because I travelled with an 11 week, 2 big suitcases and a baby capsule set.

Europcar has many locations, one at the terminal buildings and one off site accessed by a shuttle service. The 2 do not match up. Firstly Kayak website clearly advertised the car as ‘terminal buildings’ when in actual fact after booking and paying and luckily checking my email says south centre road - the offsite location. Europcar (terminals) were terrible to deal with they just wanted me to hire a car twice as expensive. He also told me to call the shuttle ( which they are supposed to do I was told) so I called Europcar at Sth centre Rd. They were better to deal with overall and the shuttle was prompt and the sky park driver was lovely. Be aware before booking! If you were looking for a quick pickup at the terminal because it is NOT the case with Kayak.
