Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Renting away from bustling areas can lower costs and ease parking difficulties.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Budget in Melbourne. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

A compact vehicle is easier to park and maneuver in congested city streets.

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.
