Booking a Cheap Car Hire in Avalon Airport is Now Easy

Avalon Airport is Melbourne's second airport, located about 40 minutes drive from the Westgate Bridge. It is considered to be the second gateway to Melbourne. Avalon Airport (AAV) is a great alternative to flying into Melbourne if you find a cheap flight, because a hire car will still give you access to all of Melbourne's great attractions.

When booking a flight into Melbourne, do not get Avalon Airport confused with Melbourne Tullarmarine Airport.
