Our services at Melbourne

SIXT car rental Melbourne

Melbourne pairs a lively, walkable centre with some of Australia's finest road-trip country, and a car lets you enjoy both. SIXT car rental in Melbourne gives Singaporean travellers an easy base for the city's laneways and a springboard to the coast and the ranges, with branches at the airport and across town.

Choose a car to match your trip:

  • Compact and hatchback cars for the inner suburbs
  • SUVs and 4WDs for the Great Ocean Road and the high country
  • Luxury models from brands such as BMW
  • Electric vehicles if you prefer to drive green
  • MPVs and vans for families and groups

Useful add-ons including child seats, extra drivers and satellite navigation can be chosen at booking, and flexible rental periods keep your plans open.

Driving tips for Melbourne

Melbourne has a few local quirks worth knowing before you set off.

  • You drive on the left, the same as in Singapore.
  • In parts of the central grid you may meet the hook turn: to turn right, wait in the far left of the intersection and complete the turn when the lights change. Watch for the overhead signs.
  • Give way to trams, and never pass a stationary tram that is letting passengers on or off.
  • Melbourne's motorways use cashless electronic tolling with no booths; SIXT can arrange toll handling so you simply drive.
  • Your Singapore licence (in English) is valid here, and an International Driving Permit is recommended but not required.

Explore Melbourne by rental car

A rent a car Melbourne booking opens up Victoria's standout drives:

  • Great Ocean Road: a coastal route starting south-west of the city
  • Yarra Valley: around an hour east for wineries and produce
  • Mornington Peninsula: about 90 minutes for beaches and hot springs
  • Phillip Island: roughly two hours south-east for the wildlife and coastline

When you return, bring the tank back full to avoid refuelling fees, or pre-purchase fuel with your booking. Book your car rental Melbourne with SIXT online and explore Victoria your way.

The way to SIXT

The customer service at both Truganina and Hoppers Crossing was amazing. The smash repairers made quite a few errors in organising a rental and gave me the wrong details. The SIXT team was lovely in helping me navigate these issues. Staff were always friendly and attentive. The SUV I rented drove well, was very clean and was in great condition. I had interactions with multiple team members at both Truganina and Hoppers crossing - all of which were extremely positive.

Absolutely amazing service! Not just what you expect from a car rental company but they go above and beyond the usual customer service. Ali is not only extremely professional and friendly but he went out of his way to make sure that I had to make a huge detour to sort something out which was clearly my fault! Thank you so much for saving me half a day of running around! 10/10 would nominate for best car rental employee in Australia
