Phenomenal host, I travelled for my brother’s funeral and things were already hectic. Andrei made this trip smooth and he was understanding when I needed to extend a few hours, to stay with family for the arrangements. I fell in love with the car, totally getting one now. It drove like a dream, and so shocked to see in person the savings in electric vs gas. Even my mum wants one! 😂. Thank you again Andrei I’ll definitely rent again on my next visit!

Top tips for renting a car in Melbourne

Soak up the ocean air, explore Historic Downtown, and experience the lively atmosphere of Melbourne by brushing up on Florida's road rules first. 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 relaxed and easy to navigate, with wide roads and clear signage, though traffic can get busy during peak rush hours. Melbourne has a warm climate year-round but can see thunderstorms and rain, so drive with caution and stay alert on slick roads.

Always follow local speed limits, which are posted on the right side of the road. Wear your seatbelt while driving, and use your phone hands-free only.

What is parking like in Melbourne?

If you're exploring Downtown Melbourne, it's easy to find parking for your rental car. There's a range of options, including parking garages, lots, and street parking. Try the City Hall Parking Garage, the Strawbridge Avenue parking lot, or free street parking around the City Hall area.

Heading to Melbourne Beach? There are plenty of paid parking options close by. If you're catching an event at the King Center for the Performing Arts, free parking is available, so try to arrive early.

Are there toll roads in Melbourne?

No, there are no toll roads in Melbourne itself. If you're exploring the surrounding area, you may come across toll roads, so it's worth checking whether your route includes any before you set off.

Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Melbourne?

Yes, there are plenty of places to fill up in Melbourne. Choose between the Sunoco on North Harbor City Boulevard, or the Murphy USA and RaceTrac on North Wickham Road.

If you're driving an electric vehicle, charge up at the 7Charge station on West Eau Gallie Boulevard, the FPL EVolution 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 recommend renting a car in Melbourne. The city has public transport, but a rental car offers far more flexibility and access to attractions and day trips, especially if you're planning to explore the Space Coast and beyond. Want to take a day trip to Orlando or the coast? A rental car means you can explore on your own schedule.

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 license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
