Get your luggage, walk out of arrivals at Melbourne, VIC Airport (AVV-Avalon), and pick up your rental car. Which one you jump into depends on what your travel itinerary looks like. If you’ll be spending most of your time driving in downtown Geelong, around 11 miles from the terminal, consider something zippy. A compact car that’s easy to maneuver will suit those bustling city streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the splendid cliffs of the region, you’ll probably be racking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
