Where can I find an East Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies that are in East Melbourne. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental.
