Recent reviews
Communication was great throughout. Pick up and drop off was easy as they came to us and allowed us to return to a different location. The car itself was exactly as described and was such a fun way to experience the Great Ocean Road. Much better than a regular car rental. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much for the car rental! Everything went really well. The car was easy and comfortable to drive, and the communication was great throughout the whole process. Very friendly and helpful. I’d definitely recommend!
Dan was a reassuring host, responding quickly and helpfully to queries during my trip.. He's an enthusiast in electric vehicles and I enjoyed a long yarn with him. The car I drove was from 2016, and is best suited to city traffic.. Excellent economy!, When I took it for a spin along highways in central Victoria it chewed quickly through the battery power, compared to recently manufactured electric vehicles. It definitely needed recharging more often with the fast speeds and hills. The 2016 Leaf isn't one of those vehicles that accelerate faster than petrol cars. It wasn't designed that way. Hire a recent model for that. It's so easy to drive with very good visibility, and a reversing camera.. Familiar to petrol car drivers, but less complicated. A pleasure. Comfortable and clean. big cabin, small boot. The back seats fold down if you need the space. Dan kindly provided both types of charging cables, yay. I enjoyed my opportunity to drive a Leaf. Why use petrol when I ve got the choice. 😊
I had an exceptional experience renting from John and his team. From the very beginning, they were professional, friendly, generous, and highly communicative, making the entire process seamless and stress free. I rented a Mercedes B-Class for three months, and it exceeded my expectations. The vehicle was immaculate, comfortable, easy to drive, and surprisingly fuel efficient. It was reliable throughout the entire rental period and made every trip enjoyable. John and his team also have an impressive range of luxury vehicles to choose from, so there’s something to suit every occasion and preference. Their attention to detail, customer service, and commitment to ensuring a great experience really set them apart. The pick up and drop off process was simple and convenient, with clear instructions that made everything effortless. I highly recommend John and his team to anyone looking for a premium, hassle free luxury car rental experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from them again. Thank you for the outstanding service! Kind regards FKS
very nice experience. this is such a great renting service. They drive the renting car to your address directly!!!
Really easy pick up and clean new car! Amazing price and professional communication!
Great car, reliable and easy to drive. The owner had great communication and made the whole rental process smooth and easy. Would happily rent again!
Connor was so obliging and did everything to make sure our trip was the best experience ever, loved the free mentos 😉 The car was in fabulous condition, very clean and drove like a dream! Fulfilled the holiday vibe we were going for. Would hire again in a heart beat! 😁
Marvin was fantastic and very accommodating and easy to deal with. The car was brand new , only 60km on the clock , so was in excellent condition. We had to extend our reservation a number of times and it was easy to do this with Marvin .An absolute pleasure to drive this vehicle around town and on the open road. Fuel consumption was great as this is a hybrid vehicle. I would highly recommend this vehicle and Marvin.
Great car, very communicative host, contactless pickup and drop-off. The host made sure there was water and a charger in the car and it was clean when we collected it. Would highly recommend and will certainly rent again.

Who is monthly car rental in Melbourne for?
Just relocated to Melbourne
Starting a new job or settling into an inner suburb like Carlton or Fitzroy after an interstate or overseas move? A monthly rental gives you reliable transport from day one. You can get around Melbourne, learn your commute, and figure out the tram lines before deciding whether to buy — with no pressure to commit before you actually know the city.
Lease just ended — or just sold your car
If your lease just ended or you've sold your car, a monthly car hire bridges the gap. You get a car for as long as you need while you take your time deciding what to buy next — or whether to buy at all. Extend month to month, and hand it back when your plans firm up. No rushed decision, no empty driveway.
Extended work assignment or traveling professional
Travelling nurses at the Parkville medical precinct and Royal Melbourne Hospital, contractors, project-based staff, and remote workers here for a defined stretch all need a car without a long-term tie. For a ten-week posting or a six-month project, a monthly rental works out more competitive than booking short-term rates week after week. Drive what suits the assignment, then move on.
Post-college or first car
Fresh out of the University of Melbourne, RMIT, or Monash and short on credit history? A monthly rental lets you drive what you need without a loan or a big deposit. That matters when money's tight — the average Australian household spends about AU$436 a week, over AU$22,000 a year, running its cars, per the AAA Transport Affordability Index.
Pickup locations for monthly car rental in Melbourne
Melbourne Airport (MEL)
Flying in for an extended stay? You can arrange monthly or long-term car hire near Melbourne Airport (MEL), about 23 km north-west of the CBD in Tullamarine, so you're sorted for the weeks ahead rather than just the weekend. If you're heading further afield, car rental in Geelong sits roughly 75 km south-west and works well for a coastal base.
Docklands
Docklands is a waterfront business and residential district right beside the CBD, packed with apartments, offices, and studios. If you live or work here on a monthly basis, having your own car nearby makes weekend escapes and out-of-city meetings easy — without paying peak short-term rates or relying on trams for every trip.
South Yarra and Richmond
South Yarra and Richmond are dense, tram-connected inner-east suburbs full of professionals, cafes, and terrace housing. Public transport covers the daily commute, but a monthly rental gives you the flexibility for weekend trips, big grocery runs, and visits beyond the tram network — a practical fit for anyone based in Melbourne's inner east.

Top tips for monthly car rental in Melbourne
Before you book a monthly rental in Melbourne, it helps to know a few local quirks — from tram etiquette in the CBD to how the city's cashless toll roads work.
Finding the best deal
Use the duration filter to see cars priced for longer stays. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, with reduced rates on seven-day and 14-day bookings too. Browse by price range to match your budget, and book ahead when you can — long term car rental supply gets tighter the closer you get to your start date.
How to pick a car
Think about how you'll actually drive each day. For a commute, fuel efficiency keeps petrol costs down; for family life, prioritise passenger space and boot room. Reliable everyday cars — sedans, compact SUVs, and hatchbacks — tend to offer the best value for a month or more, so lead with practical over flashy.
Road rules and conditions in Melbourne
Trams share many inner-city roads, so give way to them and watch for passengers stepping off at stops. The CBD also uses hook turns — you turn right from the left lane at certain intersections. If you're new to car rental in Victoria, take the first few days slowly and read the signs at each junction.
Parking in Melbourne
For a monthly stay, look beyond short-stay meters. Many inner suburbs run residential parking zones that need a permit, and a monthly car park spot can work out cheaper and easier than hunting for street parking each night. Compare monthly car park rates near where you're staying before you rely on the kerb.
Toll roads in Melbourne
Melbourne's main toll roads, CityLink and EastLink, are fully electronic — there are no toll booths, so you never stop to pay cash. If your trip takes you onto either road, arrange a pass or tag through the toll operator before you drive. Plenty of everyday routes around the city avoid tolls altogether.
Petrol and EV charging in Melbourne
Petrol is easy to find across Melbourne, with unleaded commonly running around AU$1.90 to AU$2.10 a litre through 2025. If you're driving an EV, the public charging network keeps growing, with chargers spread across the CBD and the suburbs — handy if you pick an electric or hybrid for your monthly rental.
Types of cars available in Melbourne
Most monthly rentals in Melbourne skew practical — reliable sedans like the Toyota Corolla or Camry, fuel-efficient compacts and hatchbacks, and family-friendly compact SUVs, plus hybrids for lower running costs. A compact SUV suits growing families and weekend trips, while a Toyota hatch keeps day-to-day city driving simple and affordable.
Picking a monthly car rental in Melbourne that fits your budget
Whether you want to rent a car for a month in Melbourne or stay for several months, rentals on Turo get cheaper the longer you book. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, and many listings also offer reduced rates for seven-day and 14-day bookings. Many everyday monthly rentals in Melbourne are priced around AU$850 to AU$1,500 per month, depending on the vehicle and how long you book. You'll see the total price before you book — no hidden fees, no surprise charges at the end.
Frequently asked questions about monthly car rental in Melbourne
Is there a credit check to rent a car on Turo in Melbourne?
No — there are no credit checks to book a monthly car rental in Melbourne on Turo. You book entirely through the Turo app, so there's no finance application and no dealership paperwork. You'll just need to meet the standard eligibility and licence requirements to get approved to drive in Melbourne.
Can I extend my monthly car rental in Melbourne if I need the car for longer?

What documents do I need to rent a car on Turo in Melbourne?

Is there a minimum age to rent a monthly car in Melbourne?

Can I get discounts on a monthly car rental in Melbourne?
Yes. Monthly car rentals in Melbourne get cheaper the longer you book. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, and many listings offer reduced rates on seven-day and 14-day bookings too. Use the duration filter in the Turo app to see the best long-term pricing in Melbourne.
How many kilometres are included with a monthly rental in Melbourne?
Distance allowances vary by listing. Many monthly rentals in Melbourne include a daily kilometre allowance, and some cars offer unlimited distance for regular drivers. Check each listing's distance details in the Turo app so you pick a car that suits how much you plan to drive around Melbourne.
Can someone else drive my monthly rental car in Melbourne?
Additional drivers can be added to a monthly rental in Melbourne, but they need to be approved first. Add them through the Turo app rather than arranging it informally — booking changes like extra drivers are managed in the app. Once approved, they can share the driving during your time in Melbourne.
Is monthly car rental on Turo cheaper than leasing a car?
For many people — especially anyone needing a car for one to three months — monthly car rental on Turo can work out cheaper than a lease once you add up a lease's down payment, monthly repayments, and ongoing maintenance. You see the total, all-in price before you book, with no hidden fees. For a short, defined period, that transparency often beats locking into a longer lease.
