  • Make your way to Orlando for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. About 88 kilometres from Melbourne, it's home to many cool sights such as Universal Studios Florida.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
You'll need to be at least 21 to grab the keys to a rental car in Melbourne. Be aware that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Additionally, most outlets will charge an additional fee for young renters. Read the rules carefully before booking and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
In most cases, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between home outlets, so it's wise to read the fine print.
What is the cheapest car rental in Melbourne?
With car rental prices as low as AU$53 and AU$128 a day in Melbourne within the past seven days, you'll be zipping off with your own amazing deal before long. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Melbourne?
You can. We partner with quality providers that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for many car classes. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every bit of Melbourne — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Melbourne holiday home suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25  some will charge extra fees. It's ideal to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
