To rent a car in Melbourne, you need a valid driver’s license (Australian or international), major credit card for payment and security deposit, and government-issued identification such as a passport. International visitors may need an International Driving Permit depending on their license origin. Minimum age requirements vary by vehicle category, typically 21 for standard vehicles and 25 for luxury or specialty vehicles. Additional documentation may be required for certain rental types or extended periods.
Melbourne car rental costs vary based on vehicle type, rental duration, season, and included features. Economy cars typically range from $35-50 per day, while family SUVs cost $60-90 daily. Luxury vehicles and specialty rentals command premium rates. Weekly and monthly rentals offer significant per-day savings.

Yes, we provide convenient car rental services at Melbourne Airport with easy pickup and return processes. Our airport facility offers extended hours matching flight schedules, flight monitoring for delayed arrivals, and complimentary shuttle service to vehicle pickup areas. Advanced reservations ensure vehicle availability and expedited processing. Airport rentals include the same vehicle variety and service standards as our other locations, with specialized services for international travelers.
We recommend comprehensive insurance coverage that reduces excess liability and provides roadside assistance. Basic coverage is included in all rentals, but comprehensive protection offers significant additional value. Consider your existing insurance coverage, credit card benefits, and risk tolerance when selecting protection levels. Our insurance specialists can explain coverage options and recommend appropriate protection based on your rental duration, destinations, and vehicle type.

Drivers under 25 may face additional fees or restricted vehicle selection. Maximum age limits rarely apply, but drivers over 75 may need medical certification. Young driver surcharges help offset increased insurance costs for statistical higher-risk age groups.
While our standard minimum rental period is typically 24 hours, we accommodate shorter rentals based on availability and specific circumstances. Half-day and hourly rentals may be available for certain vehicle types and periods. Short-term rentals often include minimum charges equivalent to daily rates due to preparation and processing costs. Contact us directly to discuss short-term rental needs and availability for your specific requirements.
Late returns incur additional charges based on our rental agreement terms. Grace periods may apply for minor delays, but significant lateness results in extra day charges. Notify us immediately if delays are anticipated so we can adjust schedules and minimize inconvenience. Emergency situations receive individual consideration. Late returns can affect subsequent reservations, so communication helps us accommodate changing needs while maintaining service quality.
