Any home company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer 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 with you to the home counter.

Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies that are in Melbourne. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your holiday home car.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to organise 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
