Check ratings and reviews, choose your preferred ride and compare prices from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it easy to track down the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Melbourne car rental with flight or hotel bookings and hit the road with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Melbourne. Keep in mind that rental suppliers will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which helps cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young motorists are often restricted from renting specialty or luxury vehicles. Read through the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any hassles when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
While requirements can differ between outlets, the essentials are a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What is the cheapest car rental in Melbourne?
Melbourne has had some happy car renters lately. Daily rates within the past seven days were as low as $34 and $35. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Whether you plan to stick around Melbourne or journey beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that are in Melbourne. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, take note that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Melbourne?
It's a good idea to have collision protection to safeguard your Melbourne rental car against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily add this insurance to your vehicle during the booking process. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers round-the-clock emergency assistance and a zero-dollar deductible should you need to make a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll get all your money back.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Australia, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
