Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Melbourne?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a great choice for your Melbourne adventure. That's why we suggest choosing collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Canada, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
