Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Clayton?
Unforgettable road trip adventures in Clayton await, with daily rental car rates starting from an impressive AU$81. That’s based on prices found within the past seven days.
What happens if I need to cancel my Clayton car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be given a complete refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours before picking up the car. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings will receive a refund though, so it’s a good idea to go over your car rental policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Clayton?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the top choice for many visitors to Clayton. With great gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they’re perfect for dashing around the city. A compact has slightly more space than an economy vehicle, so you can tour around in a little more comfort. Need a bit more legroom? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.
Where can I go on a road trip from Clayton?
Everyone knows that Clayton is one of the leading holiday destinations in Melbourne. But you’ll also find countless other awesome spots to explore when you lock in your ride and hit the highway. Here are a few ideas to get your road trip off to a winning start:

  • Home to attractions galore, Ballarat is approximately 121 kilometres from Clayton. First stop? Head on over to Sovereign Hill, one of the city’s biggest highlights.
  • Bendigo, around 153 kilometres away, will also show you a good time. Need some sightseeing inspiration? Bendigo Art Gallery is our first pick.
  • After all that time on the road, treat yourself to a dose of fresh air at Mount Hotham. It’s roughly 209 kilometres from Clayton.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Clayton with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare prices, offers and providers, and to check customer reviews. Combine your Clayton car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Clayton?
Drivers have to be at least 21. But there are some age-related rules you should know about before you lock in your Clayton wheels. If you’re a younger motorist, most home suppliers will charge an extra daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you can rent. The precise surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between providers. Take the time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Clayton?
Most home companies will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d prefer to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Clayton?
If you’re renting a vehicle in Clayton or road-tripping around Australia, be prepared to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on a different side to what you’re used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Clayton?
Whether you’re planning to stop in Clayton or explore beyond, you can reserve a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Clayton car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies that are in Clayton. 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 bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your holiday home.
