Top tips for hiring a car in Mornington
About to hire a car in Mornington? Here are a few top tips to keep in mind.
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.
Mornington's rush hour and busiest roads
One of the busiest sections of road in the Mornington Peninsula is the intersection of Eramosa, Grant and Frankston-Flinders Roads in Somerville (a short 15-minute drive from the city centre of Mornington). One of the busiest roads cutting directly through Mornington is the Nepean Highway, with traffic at its worst during peak hours on weekdays (from 6 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 7 pm) and during long weekends.
Are there toll roads around Mornington?
If you're planning to head back towards Melbourne CBD, it's likely you will drive along EastLink, a toll road connecting the Mornington Peninsula with Melbourne's western suburbs. Make sure your rental car is fitted with an e-tag prior to departure.
Parking in Mornington
There is currently a pilot program running across the Mornington Peninsula, requiring visitors to pay to visit the Schnapper Point Foreshore car park in Mornington. But there are also over 3,000 parking spaces located across the city centre (including large covered spaces on both the North and South sides of Main Street).
While parking is often free, make sure to check the signs, as some spots have a time limit that needs to be strictly observed.
Petrol stations and EV chargers in Mornington
If you need to refuel in Mornington, there are plenty of petrol stations to choose from, including:
United Petroleum Mornington (211 Racecourse Road)
Ampol Foodary Mornington (841 Nepean Highway)
EG Ampol Mornington (321-323 Main Street)
If you're hiring an electric car, there are a number of EV charging stations to top up at, including:
Tesla Supercharger (near Tyabb Road)
Evie Charging Station (42 Waterloo Place)
EVUp Charging Station (Nepean Highway)
