Car rentals at Melbourne Airport are conveniently located directly opposite Terminal 2, International departures and arrivals. Each car rental company is accessible via the walkways from the terminals, and returns through the Terminal Car Park at Terminal 1, 2 & 3.

That said, as a rough estimate of the cost of a Melbourne Airport car hire, you can expect to pay approximately $80-$120 per day for a compact car, such as a Toyota Yaris. If you’re looking for a mid-sized sedan, small SUV, or a standard hybrid car rental, the daily rental fee is typically $120-$160.

If you rent a car at the airport terminal, you’ll be assessed a surcharge for an airport fee. Rental car companies pay these surcharges to the airport and pass them along to the consumer, so there’s no way of avoiding the fee if you rent at the airport.

Now here’s a little trick you may not know about: you can actually rent cars directly from car dealerships. Toyota, Ford, and Lincoln Mercury actually have dealerships around the country where you can rent a car right off the lot. You can rent the latest model or your favorite type and if you really like that specific car, you can even buy it later.

Some Enterprise Rent-A-Car locations may accept debit cards, pre-paid cards, or other forms of payment to secure the rental transaction. To reserve a vehicle without a major credit card, please contact the local office directly. Two current utility bills – example: water bill, gas bill, or an internet/cable bill.
