What happens if I need to cancel my Melbourne car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has details about cancellations. In most situations, full refunds are available if a booking is cancelled more than six hours ahead of the collection time. It's a good idea to read the car rental agreement to double-check if there are any exceptions.

Jump behind the wheel of a compact vehicle in Melbourne and you'll be in excellent company. The most sought-after rental car type, these rides are economical, fuel-efficient and a snap to park. With a compact car, you'll easily handle the bustling city streets. Alternatively, you can think big. Browse our range of larger rental categories including mid-size, full-size and premium. However you like to roll, we'll have your ideal ride.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Melbourne with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a breeze to compare costs, offers and providers, and to check reviews. Combine your Melbourne car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
Drivers aged 21 and above can hit the road in Melbourne in a rental car. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and compact, and may also have to purchase comprehensive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
Before you can take the wheel in Melbourne, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you prefer not to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Melbourne?
Yes, and the terrific news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Melbourne and hit the road with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a car in Melbourne, we recommend checking the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
