Driving Tips for Melbourne
Get behind the wheel of your SIXT rental car in Melbourne and enjoy the region on your own terms, but keeping the following in mind:
- Drive on the left: In Australia, you drive on the left and the steering wheel is on the right. When you pick up your car rental in Melbourne, give yourself time to adjust.
- Rush hour: The West Gate Freeway tends to have the most challenging traffic during early morning and late afternoon on weekdays.
- Opposite seasons: The warmest summer months in Melbourne are January and February, so drive with a bottle of water and sunglasses.
- Extra Protection: Because personal and credit card policies often have limitations abroad, ask SIXT about extra protection for your rental car in Melbourne.
- Toll Roads: Many major roads in Melbourne are toll roads, such as the Tullamarine Freeway and the West Gate Freeway. Ask SIXT about a toll pass.
With these and other tips, driving in Melbourne will be fun and easy.
