Melbourne car hires from £28/day

When considering the ideal option of your car rental in Melbourne, it is important to consider what needs you have and what kind of experience you are looking for. Melbourne has beautiful coastal roads, some areas of heavy traffic, and crowded beaches. Travelers would do well to focus on a comfortable full-sized car. The car will not be too big or bulky to navigate in unknown areas. Also, a full-sized car allows for a comfortable interior and smoother driving experience down the Florida coast. If you’re traveling to Melbourne on vacation and you’re looking to drive in style, consider renting a convertible with an automatic roof to enjoy the sun and fresh air.

Drivers can expect to drive 30mph in residential, business, and municipal traffic areas. School zones drop down to 20mph. Drivers on interstates, highways, and freeways in the area should expect speed limits of 55 to 70mph. Drivers should be cautious for radar speed limit signs and some traffic lights equipped cameras near the city center and close to the airport.

Visitors should be prepared to spend a few dollars for parking while in Melbourne. This is especially true if visiting downtown or some of the beaches.

Hiring a car in Melbourne can be a better option than using public transport or taxis. Public transport can be crowded and inflexible, and you'll have to stick to specific routes and schedules. Taxis can be expensive and may not always be readily available. With car hire, you have the freedom to go where you want, when you want, without worrying about public transport schedules or taxi availability.

Young drivers can hire a car in Melbourne, but there are restrictions.

Remember, all drivers must provide valid identification when hiring a car in Melbourne and must have a valid credit card in the driver's name.
