Airport Car Rental / Car Hire (Melbourne, VIC, Australia)




A number of notable car hire firms are located at Melbourne Airport (MEL), including Avis and Hertz, both of which offer cars for disabled drivers. A further range of car rental companies are located around the city of Melbourne itself, including many small local competitive operators with low overheads, such as Atlas, where new and modern vehicles can be rented at reasonable prices.

Those looking to hire older cars will find a number of outlets in Melbourne, although the quality and costs of these vehicles vary greatly, with some firms imposing 100-km / 60-mile distance limits for the oldest cars. The City Link tollway network features two main links, running from the South Eastern Freeway to Exhibition Street, and also to the Calder Freeway, which travels along the western side of Melbourne and into the city centre.

Car Rental at Melbourne Airport (MEL): Driving and Parking in Melbourne
Parking spaces in the centre of Melbourne can be hard to find, and expensive. If you park in restricted areas and 'clearway' zones, you can expect heavy fines to be imposed, with cars being quickly towed away. However, many of the larger hotels in and around central Melbourne boast car parking areas or nearby garages. Parking close to top nightclubs in the St. Kilda and Fitzroy district can be difficult and public transport is often the best option. More than 70 car parks are located around the city of Melbourne, most of which offer good value for money and charge flat rates during the evenings.

You are usually able to use an English driving licence when hiring a car in Australia. Driving licences in other languages should always be accompanied by a certified translation. All cars in Melbourne and throughout Australia are right-hand drive, with locals always driving on the left-hand side of roads. Directions out of Melbourne Airport are provided by the airport's car rental companies, along with information about how and when to return the vehicle.
