Hire a car from Melbourne Airport
When you step out of the terminal at Tullamarine Airport, Melbourne and its surrounds offer an array of activities and attractions. From beaches andmountains, to world-class restaurants, compelling music gigs and a range of art and entertainment festivals, Victoria has it all. Welcome to the world’s mostliveable city, seven years running.
With no direct train from the airport to the city, a hire car can provide travellers with the flexibility to explore Victoria on their own terms and in their own time.
You’ll discover the urban city centre is jam packed with vibrant laneways, succulent eats, and hidden pockets of street art and entertainment, while the countryside covets hiking, relaxation, and coastal towns with world-renowned swells. One thing Melbourne holds dearest to its heart is coffee. Started by post-war Italian immigrants in the 1950's, any coffee shop that is not delivering world class coffee, simply won't survive. So, if you’re a fan of the humble coffee bean, this is the city you've been dreaming about.
Hire a car from Melbourne Airport and explore the Melbourne Metro area
If you’re going on a Melbourne urban excursion, be on the lookout for events that stretch across the entire year such as Melbourne's Music Week, the International Film, Comedy, Jazz, Fringe and Writer’s festivals, the Australian F1 Grand Prix, Australian Open Tennis, Fashion Week, AFL Grand Final, Horse Racing's Melbourne Cup Carnival, and much more.
The city itself holds different areas to explore: the hipster vibes and rich street art of Fitzroy or Collingwood in the north, the fashionable Chapel Street precinct in the south, St. Kilda beach, Richmond’s rich mix of culinary expertise and discount shops, the Arts Precinct near the National Gallery of Victoria, the inner CBD which blends all interests, and coming just behind coffee as a city feature, hundreds of wide open parklands and gardens.
A few other activities worth mentioning are the Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne’s CBD laneways, Royal Botanical Garden, and the Melbourne Zoo.
Explore Victoria's natural delights in your rental car from Melbourne Airport
Outside of town, a short drive will transport you to various outdoor settings. The Yarra Valley region is known for its countryside views and world class wineries, while the Great Ocean Road is on any ‘top road trips in Australia’ list for its coastal outlooks and endless beaches. Along the Great Ocean Road, be sure to visit the Twelve Apostles, stop in Lorne for a coffee, check out the iconic Surfing World Tour's Bells Beach and learn about the Loch Ard Gorge.
Driving in any direction will send you on a completely different adventure, transporting you to must-see landscapes like the Grampians and High Country, or the fairy penguin colony on Phillip Island. Mornington Peninsula (southeast of Melbourne) is a heavenly strip of cliff jumps, beaches, and ideal boating waters. Wilsons Promontory National Park (only a few hours onward from Mornington) is known for its picturesque hikes and secluded beaches.
The list of outdoor adventures continues in Victoria’s Alpine Region, exploring the mighty Murray River, trekking to Healesville, the Macedon ranges, or Gippsland for lush green rolling hills and local market produce.
In addition, there are numerous towns within a short drive of Melbourne Airport that can transport you back to the era of the gold rush or give you a taste of small town Australian life and hospitality. Castlemaine, Ballarat, Bendigo, Bright, Torquay, Walhalla, Beechworth, Port Fairy, and Sorrento (just to name a few) are perfect destinations that give you a taste of authentic Australia.
