Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Melbourne car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to pickup, most bookings qualify for a full refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to understand your rental policy. Look over your itinerary for the specifics or head to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Melbourne?
The majority of visitors choose economy vehicles in Melbourne. Drivers love them because they're easy on the wallet.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melbourne?
In Melbourne, the requirement is usually 21 years and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location.

What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.

Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Melbourne companies will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
