Operating on weekends and public holidays, you can ride the miniature trains through the scenic park, explore the playground with its train-themed equipment, cycle through lush greenery along the bike tracks, or simply relax with a picnic lunch.
As one of Melbourne's most iconic attractions, the Dandenong Ranges are just a 25-minute drive from Bayswater. Dine at the restaurant SkyHigh situated atop Mount Dandenong, explore the peaceful Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens, or take the iconic steam train, Puffing Billy, through the ranges as you take in views of lush forest, fern gullies, and quaint villages.
Nestled within the Dandenong Ranges, William Ricketts Sanctuary is not to be missed. It is home to over 90 sculptures created by the artist that have been integrated into the natural landscape. Depicting Indigenous Australians and their connection to the land, guided tours shed light on the rich Indigenous history of the area, along with their stories and traditions.

The car was spotless, well maintained, and drove beautifully. Pick up was quick and easy. The car owner was friendly and also offered, and dropped us off to the airport as we had traveled from Melbourne. The car was exactly what I needed comfortable, fuel efficient, and reliable. Would absolutely rent from here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a hassle-free car rental experience.

Smooth rental process, clean car, and friendly staff. Pickup service from the airport was very helpful, and the vehicle performed perfectly throughout the trip. Would definitely rent again.

I had an excellent experience renting this vehicle. The car was spotless, in great condition, and came with a full tank of fuel. The owner was incredibly kind, understanding, and responsive throughout the entire process, making everything smooth and stress-free. The app was also very easy to use and made managing the rental simple and convenient. Due to a change in my plans, I needed to return the car earlier than expected, and I really appreciate the flexibility and the refund for the unused hours. I would definitely rent this vehicle again and highly recommend both the owner and the platform. Thank you for such a positive experience!

With plenty to explore in Bayswater, familiarise yourself with the local rules and driving conditions in Melbourne for a smooth and enjoyable journey in your car rental.
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.
Peak hours in Bayswater coincide with typical commuter times, increasing traffic on major roads. Expect congestion at these hours on the Mountain Highway, Burwood Highway, and EastLink (M3). Plan your travels outside rush hours (7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6.30 pm) for a smoother drive, or consider alternate routes when necessary.
Yes, Melbourne has several toll roads that you might encounter near Bayswater, including CityLink, EastLink, and Peninsula Link.
You'll find plenty of parking options around Bayswater, including Bayswater Village Shopping Centre and Bayswater Train Station.
Bayswater has several petrol stations for conventional vehicles, including a BP on Mountain Highway and a Caltex Woolworths on High Street Road. EV chargers are also located at some shopping centres and on Mountain Highway.
The best way to explore Bayswater and Melbourne is with a car. There are public transport options with a free tram service running through the city and an extensive network of trams, trains, and buses connecting the outer suburbs, but travel time to iconic destinations can take significantly longer without a car.
Plus, booking a hire car gives you the freedom and flexibility to explore beyond the city's limits and venture on day trips to St Kilda Beach or Melbourne Zoo.
Whether you want a convenient Toyota Camry or the extra leg room a Kia Carnival affords, Turo hosts offer a wide range of Bayswater car rental types that are sure to suit your travel needs. Some of the most popular car rental options include the Toyota HiLux, Kia Rio, Kia Carnival, Tesla Model 3, and Hyundai i30.
Car types include but are not limited to electric cars, 7-seaters and people movers, vintage and classic cars, van rental, ute rental, SUV rental, small and large car hire, exotic and luxury car rental, and everything in between.
