Cheap Dollar Car Rental in Melbourne

Before concluding your car rental in Melbourne, confirm the exact drop-off location with Dollar. This will save you time and help avoid any confusion at the end of your rental period.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Melbourne, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Dollar 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.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

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

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.
