Car Rental Avalon

Avalon has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Arrange a set of wheels and head off to explore the surrounding area. We've pulled together these great options:

• Melbourne is 30 miles from Avalon. Renowned tourist attractions like Crown Casino deserve to be high on your list while you're in town.
• Roughly 45 miles away, Ballarat is also popular with wanderers. Allow time to get to Sovereign Hill while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this vibrant city.
• Mount Hotham is situated 160 miles from Avalon and is one of the region's most breathtaking nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air here.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
