Top tips for renting a car in Melbourne
Soak up the ocean air, explore the Historic Downtown and experience the lively atmosphere of Melbourne without any distractions by brushing up on Florida's road rules. Here are our top tips for driving, parking, and fueling up in Melbourne.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Melbourne?
Driving in Melbourne is pretty relaxed and stress-free. It's easy to navigate, with wide roads and clear signage, but traffic can get busy during peak rush hours. Melbourne generally has a warm climate year-round, but it can get thunderstorms and rain in winter, which means you'll need to drive with caution and stay vigilant on slick roads.
Always adhere to local speed limits, which are posted on the right side of the road. Make sure you're wearing your seatbelt while driving, and always operate your phone hands-free only.
What is parking like in Melbourne?
If you're exploring Downtown Melbourne, it's easy to find a park for your rental car. There is a range of options available, including parking garages, lots, and street parking. Park in the City Hall Parking Garage, or the Strawbridge Avenue parking lot, or find free street parking around the City Hall area.
Planning on soaking up Melbourne Beach? There are plenty of paid parking options close by, but make sure you hold on to your proof of parking, as the city is known for booting drivers. If you're heading to an event at King Center of the Performing Arts, there are free parks available; just try to get in early.
Are there toll roads in Melbourne?
No, there are no toll roads in Melbourne. If you're exploring the surroundings, you may encounter toll roads (such as the Bee Line Expressway), so it's best to check if your route includes tolls.
Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Melbourne?
Yes, there are plenty of places to pump your gas in Melbourne. Choose between the Sunoco on North Harbor City Boulevard, the Murphy USA or RaceTrac on North Wickham Road.
If you're driving an electric vehicle, charge up at 7Charge Charging Station on West Eau Gallie Boulevard, FPL EVolution Charging Station on West New Haven Ave, or the Tesla Supercharger on West Eau Gallie Blvd.
Do I need to rent a car in Melbourne?
Yes, we definitely recommend renting a car in Melbourne. The city has public transport, but a rental car offers more flexibility and access to attractions and day trips if you're planning to explore the Space Coast and beyond. If you want to take a day trip to Disney World or Miami, having a rental car means you can explore on your own schedule. While you can get around Melbourne with public transport, a rental car offers greater flexibility and access to attractions and day trips, especially for exploring the Space Coast and beyond.
