Should I hire a car in Victoria?
Hiring a car is a great choice for anyone who wants to explore Victoria fully. If you're staying in Melbourne, there are a number of attractions just outside the city that are much easier to reach via car than public transport. For example, the Dandenong Ranges can be reached in roughly an hour via car but can take up to 1h 45min to reach via public transport. The popular Werribee Range Zoo is around 35min from the centre of Melbourne via car but can take about 1h 45min to reach by train and bus. Victoria also has some popular road trip options, including the famous Great Ocean Road; it spans roughly 240 kilometres and takes you along the state's southern coastline, including hotspots like Bells Beach and Great Otway National Park.
What is driving like in Victoria?
Driving in Victoria will usually be a pleasant experience. In the biggest cities, like Melbourne and Geelong, the roads will get busy, particularly during peak hours (usually between 7 am and 9 am and 4 pm and 7 pm).

To hire a car in Victoria, you need to be at least 21 years old and you will also need to have held a full licence for at least 12 months. Most companies will also apply an additional daily young driver's surcharge for anyone under the age of 25.
