Important information about Melbourne car rentals

Apart from beach activities, Melbourne, Florida, is known for its charming downtown area and art district. If you happen to be visiting the city during the last week of April, you can’t miss the annual Melbourne Art Festival. The best way to get around, reaching all the attractions you wish, is by car. There are over 10 car rental locations in Melbourne, so there are options to choose from. The most convenient place to rent is directly from the airport, although there are places in town as well. It may be a bit more difficult to find cheap car rentals in Melbourne than in other places, especially when the weather is warm. Both economy car rentals and luxury car rentals in Melbourne are available. There are multiple free public parking lots around the city of Melbourne. Make sure to check the signs before entering to verify if there are any time limits. The same goes for on-street parking.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Melbourne?

Downtown Melbourne has a walkable shopping area and neighborhoods like Magnolia Park and University Park are more pedestrian friendly. However, having a car rental in Melbourne, Florida is the best way of navigating through the city and gives you the freedom to organize your time as you wish. If you want to go to a secluded beach area, drive about one hour north of Melbourne to the Canaveral National Seashore. Beach activities like surfing are best at beaches like Pelican Beach Park. If you have more time, the city of Orlando and its iconic Disney World are just under an hour and a half away. When driving your car rental in Melbourne, you may want to steer clear of the busiest intersection just south of the city, Palm Bay Road and Babcock Street. There are plenty of parking lots as well as on-street parking in the city and some may be free for a specific time limit.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Melbourne?

Before picking up your car rental in Melbourne, you should learn if there are any tips or driving laws you may not be familiar with. It’s best you also check with Melbourne’s department of motor vehicles for any changes or new laws. The state of Florida passed a law making texting and driving illegal, so make sure your hand-held device is out of reach. Right turns on red are allowed in Melbourne and the law states that all passengers must wear a seatbelt. We always suggest not drinking and driving, so when you plan on going for a drink, you should leave your Melbourne car rental behind or appoint a designated driver who won’t consume any alcohol. Be safe and know that it’s illegal to drive with a blood-alcohol content of 0.08% and over. Confirm with Melbourne’s department of motor vehicles beforehand that none of the laws have changed or been updated.

Will I need a special driver’s license or permit to drive a rental car in Melbourne if I’m visiting from another country?

To be able to rent a rental car in Melbourne, you have to at least be 21 years old. If you’re visiting from a foreign country, you won’t be required to present anything other than your valid native driver’s license, your passport and a credit card. It’s not necessary to have an IDP (International Driver’s Permit) to rent a non-commercial vehicle in the state of Florida.
