Car Hire in North Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia

Many car hire deals at North Melbourne require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, opt for rentals that assure the car type. This prevents surprises at pickup if a different vehicle is provided.

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.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the vehicle with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' requires it to be returned at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is generally more economical.
