How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
Melbourne requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
A current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of other coverage. Rules may differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Melbourne?
Motorists in Melbourne drive on the left-hand side, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take some extra time getting to know your new car before getting on the road.

According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a car rental in Melbourne was just $45. The second lowest price was $48 per day.

Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a little homework. Found a Melbourne outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Great! Just take note that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re considering should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Melbourne?
Start your road trip on the right foot by purchasing Expedia’s collision damage protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you’ll need to have.
