Here are some tips for renting a car in Melbourne:

  • Be sure to inspect the car for any damage before you drive away.
  • Notify the booking agent when you inspect the car and any marks or damage recorded on the paperwork.

  • The size of the car: Consider how many people will be in your party and how much luggage you will be bringing.
  • The type of car: If you will be doing a lot of driving on the highway, you will need a car with good fuel economy. If you will be doing a lot of city driving, you will need a car that is easy to park.
  • The insurance policy: Make sure you understand the rental company's insurance policy and that you are covered for any damage that may occur to the car.
