What you need to know about car rentals

How do I find the best prices on a Melbourne Hertz car rental?

We strive to get you the lowest price, whether you reserve your car. But booking your car well ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Make sure to read the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my rental car in Melbourne?

Make sure to bring your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

What's Melbourne's minimum age to rent a car?

Hertz's minimum age to rent a car in Melbourne is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Make sure to review Hertz's policy to find out what the total cost is before you book.

What kind of Hertz rental car should I get for my trip to Melbourne?

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Melbourne. Compact or economy automobiles are good for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a mid-size car or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little luxury on their Melbourne trip can choose the premium category to get a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in Australia?

In Australia you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Many major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) usually cover your car rental. But many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering large vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Make sure to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Melbourne. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Hertz require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Hertz requires a deposit when you book your rental. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you book your vehicle for your trip to Melbourne. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly based on the make and model of the car.

Do I have to return my Hertz rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full tank policy. You pick up your Hertz rental with full tank, and you should bring it back it topped off. For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a filling station before you bring the car back to Hertz.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Melbourne definitely has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.

Can I get a one-way rental from Hertz?

Hertz offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your vehicle at another Hertz. However, there may be an additional fee when you choose one-way.
