How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
Usually, the rules are 21 years and over in Melbourne. It should be noted that most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers.

What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Melbourne?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and reserve a ride to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Melbourne, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
