KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Glen Waverley

  • Car hire in Glen Waverley means having your own set of wheels, which makes travelling a whole lot easier. You'll find there is a bus and train system which can take you to most of the main attractions in the city centre, but exploring the hidden gems on your own schedule is best with a car. One of our favourite attractions is roughly just 20 minutes by car from Glen Waverley. The Eureka Skydeck has a floor-to-ceiling glass circular viewing platform on the 88th storey, overlooking the city of Melbourne. If you are on holiday in late autumn or early spring, take the roughly 1h 30min drive to Phillip Island, which is south of Glen Waverley, and watch the native Aussie penguins enjoying the sunshine or get up close and personal with a koala.
  • The closest major airport to Glen Waverley is Melbourne Airport (MEL), which is about a 45min drive away by car. The airport has roughly six car hire companies, located on the ground floor of Terminals 1, 2 and 3. About 1 hour from Glen Waverley is Avalon Airport (AVV); it offers car hire from around four reputable car hire companies, all found in the main terminal building. Around 30min north of Glen Waverley is Essendon Airport (MEB). The airport is home to about eight car hire companies, which have desks next to the arrivals hall entrance, in the main terminal building.
  • When driving your car hire in Glen Waverley, you'll find there is moderate traffic around most of the city. Peak traffic times are mostly on Friday afternoons and Saturdays; however, you will find lots of cars on the road at any time, as the public transport system is a bit restricted. Be careful to look out for kangaroos next to the road. They can cross the roads unexpectedly, so it's best to slow down and be cautious if you come across one or more.
  • Difficult times to drive your car hire in Glen Waverley are in the early mornings before 08:00, as the roads are full of commuters heading to work. It is particularly congested on Kerrie Rd and High Street Rd, as they are major roads that lead from one side of the city to the other and cross all main areas of the city. You'll find the worst of the traffic is centred around The Glen Shopping Centre, on High Street Rd.
