Top tips for hiring a car in Melton
Before grabbing the keys to your rental car, it's important to keep these expert tips in mind when driving in and around Melton.
Melbourne road rules and driving conditions
The road rules in Melbourne match the rest of Australia. Australians drive on the left side of the road and speed limits vary depending on the type of road and area. Residential zones usually have lower speed limits, while major roads and highways have higher limits.
The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for fully licensed drivers in Victoria is 0.05 (the same as the rest of the country), and you aren’t allowed to use your phone while you’re driving. Not to mention, be sure to keep left unless overtaking on all multi-lane roads with a speed limit above 80km/h.
Hook turns:
While exploring Melbourne City, the concept of a hook turn might seem a little bizarre. It's essentially a right-hand turn at an intersection. But, instead of using the right lane to turn, when you see a hook turn sign, you stay in the left lane and signal your intention to turn right.
Melton's rush hour and busiest roads
The roundabout at Caroline Springs Boulevard and Rockbank Middle Road prove to be some of the busiest areas in the City of Melton. There is currently an upgrade happening to the Western Freeway from Melton to Caroline Springs in an attempt to alleviate congestion. Peak hour tends to run between 6.30 am and 9.30 am as well as 3.30 pm to 6.30 pm in Melbourne.
Are there toll roads around Melton?
While there are no toll roads directly in Melton, you may encounter toll roads if you head into the Melbourne CBD or further afield to the east of the city. CityLink and EastLink are the two key toll roads in Melbourne to look out for.

There are plenty of on-street car parking spaces located across the residential streets of Melton. If you're heading into the city centre, expect to find car parks such as the Wilsons Parking at Coles Melton South as well as the Coles Car Park in Melton West.
