How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
You'll need to be at least 21 to sit in the driver's seat of a rental vehicle in Melbourne. Keep in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Additionally, many companies will charge a fee for young renters. Look up the rules before booking and factor any surcharge into your budget.

The essentials are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check with your rental provider to avoid any problems.

In Melbourne, like all of England, you drive on the left-hand side. Go slower to build confidence driving on the left if it's your first time.

Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Melbourne, we recommend checking the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Melbourne?
For a stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also offers 24/7 emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Melbourne ride with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in England, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental 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 most 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
