The capital of Victoria, Melbourne is one of Australia’s most populous and culturally diverse cities. Famous for its vibrant arts scene, sports culture, and excellent coffee, Melbourne is often ranked as one of the most liveable cities in the world — and it is also a great city for driving in, so if you’re worried about how to drive in Melbourne, you’ve got nothing to worry about.
With Melbourne International Airport (MEL) around 20 km to the north of the CBD, the city also makes for an excellent base for a self-drive holiday. Lying to the west of the city, the Great Ocean Road is one of the most famous drives in Australia, while to the east, Phillip Island and Wilsons Promontory are both excellent destinations for a selection of weekend road trips.

Are you flying into Melbourne?
Consider collecting your vehicle from the airport. We work with a range of car hire providers at Melbourne Airport (MEL).
Consider if your travel route will include toll roads. There are several toll roads in Melbourne including CityLink, which links the CBD and Melbourne Airport, and EastLink, which you’ll most likely drive if visiting the Mornington Peninsula. Make sure to discuss payment options with your vehicle provider upon collection.
If you are new to driving in Melbourne, the city’s peak traffic times are from 6:30 am to 9:00 am and from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm. Allow for additional travel time when driving in Melbourne during these times.
Parking can be expensive in Melbourne. Check online for special offers or discounts, as pre-booking online will often be more affordable. We have listed parking providers at Melbourne Airport.
Planning to get a one-way car rental for an interstate trip? You can book a hire car in Melbourne and return it to another location. Just untick the “Return to the same location” option in our search form and select your preferred return location.
If you’re a tourist driving in the Melbourne CBD for the first time, please be aware of the trams. All cars must give way to them, and on intersections sharing tram lines, you may be required to make a “hook turn.” This is a turn unique to Melbourne where cars turning right do so from the left-hand lane.
It’s important to return your hire car with a full tank of fuel to avoid extra fees, but with so many service stations in Melbourne, it can be hard to know where to find the best value on petrol. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with our free fuel price comparison app.

The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available in Melbourne may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
Is renting a car from Melbourne Airport more expensive than from the city?
Car rentals from Melbourne Airport (MEL) typically cost more than those from off-airport or downtown locations. This price difference is due to additional taxes and fees applied to airport rentals, which can significantly increase the daily rate compared to locations elsewhere in Melbourne.
A middle ground between airport convenience and downtown savings is using an off-airport rental provider. These companies operate near the airport and often offer shuttle services to their depots. This approach allows them to provide rental rates without airport surcharges while still offering more convenience than downtown rental locations.
