Rent vans in Melbourne

Whether you’re looking to transport furniture or explore Melbourne with a large group, Turo allows you to find the perfect van type to suit your itinerary in Victoria.

Some popular van models you can book include the Toyota Hiace, Volkswagen Transporter, and Mercedes V-Class. Unlike cheap van rental companies, expect to find unique models and van types you can’t find anywhere else on Turo.

Where you’re looking for automatic or manual transmission, a cheap van hire or a premium ride, you’ll find your drive on Turo.

If you’re considering another type of vehicle, Turo has plenty of other car hire options available, including SUVs, utes, people movers, and many more.

Zipping through the inner city laneways of Melbourne? Tackling a longer drive along the Great Ocean Road? No matter what you’re looking to transport or where you need to go, local vehicle owners on Turo have the right van for you. Turo has small, medium, and large vans available for hire so you can transport everything you need with ease.

If you’re planning on travelling with others, a spacious and reliable people carrier van is a good option. Whether it’s a 5-seater with plenty of luggage room in the back or a commanding 8-seater, Turo offers a large selection of people carrier van options for you to choose from.

Moving house or relocating your office in Melbourne? Hire a van for those occasions when a small hire car just won’t do. Rest assured that all your furniture and goods will be kept safe and easily transported from A to B.

Time to hit the road for an outdoor adventure? Why stay at a motel when you can enjoy the comfort of your own campervan? Hire a premium campervan from Turo and explore the great outdoors in Victoria in comfort and style.

Need a reliable and spacious vehicle for a large family road trip? Looking to save money on removalists and want to move house yourself? Hiring a van is the perfect solution, no matter what occasion you have in store in Melbourne.

Vacation: Got a large family and want to enjoy an exciting getaway together? Hire a van for a spacious, fun family road trip. Whether it’s an interstate drive from Melbourne to Adelaide or a scenic trip down the Great Ocean Road, there’s luggage space for the whole crew.

Event: Moving day in Melbourne? Your usual car doesn’t always have enough room for your belongings and furniture. Save money on removalists and hire a van for a few hours (or days) to move house yourself. Choose a van with minimal seats to make the most of the extra room.

Long-term: Working on an extended project or staying in Melbourne for a while? Longer van hire keeps a spacious vehicle on hand for as long as you need it. Many local vehicle owners offer discounts on trips lasting 7+ or 30+ days, so booking longer can help you save.

Featuring the highest observation deck in all of the Southern Hemisphere to date, the Eureka Skydeck is located in the Southbank precinct of Melbourne and boasts stunning city views you can’t see anywhere else. The observation deck is open daily and the building itself offers a wide range of amenities, including bars, restaurants, and a theatre. There is also a car park in the tower which offers coach and van parking.

Another park filled with beautiful natural wonders is Lerderderg State Park. Lerderderg State Park is around an hour’s drive from Melbourne CBD and is best known for its deeply carved and thousand-year-old gorge. Surrounding the gorge is the Lerderderg River, as well as Shaws Lake and native woodland. The state park also offers a few easy walking trails you can enjoy with family and friends, and well-maintained flatlands for fun picnics. If you’re an experienced hiker, Lerderderg State Park also has the Great Dividing Trail which takes you through O’Briens Crossing.

Like Lake Eildon National Park, Lerderderg State Park also has a few campgrounds to park your campervan, so you can enjoy a couple of days exploring the area and watching the clear night skies.

With rental cars available across the US, Canada, the UK, France, and Australia, Turo offers one of the largest inventories of vehicles available to book online.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers any time via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app.
