Cheap Budget Car Hire Deals at Flinders Street Station, Melbourne

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Planning to rent a car with Budget at Flinders Street Station but are under 25? No worries! You can still rent a car. Just note that rental companies might have additional fees and restrictions for younger drivers. When you search for a car, simply deselect ‘Driver aged between 25 - 75’ and enter your actual age.

If you don’t find what you need at Flinders Street Station with Budget, you might discover more car hire options in Melbourne, which can occasionally be cheaper. However, keep in mind that the additional cost of transferring from Airport to Melbourne might result in higher overall expenses compared to picking up your rental car directly at the airport.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.
