How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Melbourne is 21. An extra fee for young drivers applies, so check before booking and budget for any extra costs. There may also be restrictions on the car categories that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some outlets will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may vary between suppliers, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
While terms and conditions may differ between outlets, the basics are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Melbourne?
Whether you plan to stop in Melbourne or explore what's beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term home with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find excellent long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Melbourne often depends on the holiday home company you select. Some places apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas others may not apply any extra fees for this age range. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your preferred holiday home dealer to avoid any surprise charges at the holiday home desk.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
