Car Hire in Melbourne

The history of Melbourne starts in the 1850s with the discovery of gold in the surrounding hills. As the capital of Victoria, it is Australia's second-largest city after Sydney and plays host to a population of over three million. With trams rolling through streets past old Victorian houses, beautiful parks, and numerous cafés, Melbourne is considered one of the most European cities in Australia.

The centre is presented in a grid pattern, with long north-south streets slanting down to the Yarra River, crossed by a range of narrow lanes and incorporating the main shopping streets - Bourke and Collins Streets. The burgundy-coloured City Circle tram is a free service and is the perfect way to explore the inner city. For those who want to go further out, the tram network extends about 10 miles into the heart of the Melbourne suburbs. Hire a car and experience seamless travel with ease and convenience.

Travelling in Melbourne with a Car Hire

Melbourne prides itself with tree-lined boulevards and stunning parks and gardens. Approximately 50,000 trees fill the city, along streets and in parks, attributing to the city's beauty. Drive to the Moomba Waterfest - the largest and longest running festivals in Australia, and ride carnival rides or watch the Moomba Masters International Water Ski Championships.
