Driving tips in Melbourne Airport

Melbourne, like many of the main cities in Australia have toll roads. Ensuring that you pay your tolls and have the information you need to pay for them will help you so that you don't find nasty fees or fines when your holiday comes to an end.

Each supplier has different options to consider when paying for toll roads and we have useful information for you to consider. Check out the toll charges in Australia so you will know the actual cost and terms of payment.

So, you are ready to drive your hire car, seatbelt on, ready to point the front of the car at Melbourne… but you are not really sure where that is. Perhaps it might be a great idea to check out the official website of Melbourne Airport and have a map beforehand, to see the location of the airport.

Melbourne Airport is also great for having a look at the weather conditions before choosing your flight outfit. Nothing worse than getting in all decked out in Hawaii shirts and a pair of shorts to meet bluster and dribble. Departure and arrival times can be found here too.

One thing to be aware of when driving your car towards the city, the Tullamarine Freeway doesn't exactly live up to its name. You will be charged a fee to take this route; you may need to obtain a CityLink pass, so it would pay to get in touch with your chosen car rental company about this. But, no worries, it's not the only way to make it to the CBD, you can always travel toll-free via the Western Ring Road.

Maybe a car is not going to be big enough for your holiday?

VroomVroomVroom also compare campervan rental rates in Melbourne. We have many pick up and drop off locations for campervan hire from including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth so you can begin your adventure from these key destinations in Australia. There is also a wide selection of motorhomes, RVs, and campervans to choose from so you are sure to find the one that will best suit your needs.

Before you start exploring Melbourne, it is advisable to check the live traffic map update so you can see the road situation and avoid getting stuck in traffic.

Travelling with your little one? Save some money by hiring baby seats.

There are some airlines that allow babies or toddlers to travel for free if you have your own baby seats. However, you can also rent one when you arrive at the airport since it is essential to use child seats when renting a car.

VroomVroomVroom highly recommends "Just Take the Kids." The baby and child equipment hire provider offers a hassle-free, friendly and reliable service to parents visiting Melbourne with their families.

They offer a large range of car seats to suit all budgets. All car seats are cleaned and undergo a safety check before each hire. Car seats are fitted by trained and accredited restraint fitters. Have your car seats installed in your hire car prior to your arrival.

Other products also available for hire include prams, strollers, portacots, highchairs, toys plus more. Just Take the Kids offer delivery service at the airport 7 days a week between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
