Book your car in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak season.

Be sure to inspect the car for any damage before you drive away.

Things to consider when choosing a car rental in Melbourne:

The size of the car: Consider how many people will be in your party and how much luggage you will be bringing.
The type of car: If you will be doing a lot of driving on the highway, you will need a car with good fuel economy. If you will be doing a lot of city driving, you will need a car that is easy to park.
The insurance policy: Make sure you understand the rental company's insurance policy and that you are covered for any damage that may occur to the car.

* Top tip - your travel insurance may cover the hire vehicle excess so worth checking to save $$$ so worth checking👍🏻
