How much is a rental car per day in Melbourne?
Affordable car rentals started at AU$93 per day in Melbourne, based on prices within the past seven days. With rates like this, we make it easy to pick up some keys and hit the road for less.
What happens if I need to cancel my Melbourne car reservation?
Don’t stress! If you’re able to cancel your home at least six hours prior to the pickup time, you’re likely to receive a full refund. It’s a good idea to read the home policy as there are some exceptions. Jump onto our Customer Service Portal if you still have questions.
What types of cars can I rent in Melbourne?
Small in size but big on perks, economy cars are the first choice for many in Melbourne. They’re a breeze to park and handle, which is perfect if you’ll be doing mostly city driving. And with fantastic mileage, this type of home will have you cruising around on the cheap. Prefer a larger car? Check out our range of full-size and premium vehicles.
Why should I rent a Melbourne car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Melbourne with Expedia?
Getting an awesome deal on your Melbourne rental car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add some details and compare the offers from popular suppliers. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You’ll get access to even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
In Melbourne, the rule is generally 21 years and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. It’s a good idea to check the fine print before choosing your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
Any home company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you’d prefer to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the home counter.
What is the cheapest car rental in Melbourne?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was AU$93. The next best price to rent a ride in Melbourne was AU$95 a day. 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. Expedia partners with quality suppliers that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for many car classes. Check out our long-term car rental deals and discover every turn of Melbourne — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies that are in Melbourne. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your holiday home car.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to organise 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
