Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Melbourne?
The daily price of car rentals in Melbourne within the past seven days was as low as AU$86. With your own affordable ride, the attractions in and around this place are easily within your reach.
Can I rent a car from Orlando Melbourne Intl. Airport (MLB)?
Enterprise and Thrifty Car Rental are within a short commute of Orlando Melbourne Intl. Airport (MLB). After landing, it won't be long before you're cruising down the road.
What happens if I need to cancel my Melbourne car reservation?
We understand that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why the majority of rentals provide a total refund if you notify us six hours ahead of collecting the car. It's still good to read your rental policy though because there are some exceptions. If you can't find the answer there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Melbourne?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many visiting motorists in Melbourne. Offering superb gas mileage and easy handling and parking, they're perfect for getting around the city. A compact has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a little extra comfort and convenience. Prefer something bigger? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.
Where can I go on a road trip from Melbourne?
There's so much to do in Melbourne, but venture further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Grab a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding area at your own speed. Add these awesome drives to your travel plan:

  • You'll discover Daytona International Speedway and countless other amazing attractions in Daytona Beach. From Melbourne, it's 129 kilometres away.
  • Your next pit stop? Consider Orlando, which is around 88 kilometres away. Universal Studios Florida is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
  • Make tracks to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens to feel grounded in nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Melbourne, it's 257 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Melbourne with Expedia?
Scoring an amazing deal on your Melbourne rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add in a few more details and compare the offers across top brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll score even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
Usually, the rules are 21 years and over in Melbourne. It should be noted that most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers. Check before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a large car like a premium SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car rental in Melbourne?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've jumped into the driver's seat of a rental car for just AU$86 a day. The second lowest daily price in Melbourne was AU$87. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Melbourne?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and reserve a ride to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Melbourne, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
