You’ll also find a number of car hire companies within the city as well. The road system in Melbourne is well developed and you’ll find great roads, freeways and tollways.

Those who love taking a day trip can save money by hiring a car. Self-guided driving tours are a great option if you don’t mind a bit of driving around, especially if you’re interested in exploring the famous destinations of the Great Ocean Road, Yarra Valley and Phillip Island.

Visitors must have a valid driver’s licence in order to rent a car in Australia. International travellers may also have to show their passport and provide a credit card to rent a car.

Selections of vehicles offered include small cars, compact sedans, trucks, minivans and even buses.
