Top Tips for Hiring a Cargo Van in Melbourne
- In case you want to move items from one part of Melbourne to another, transport your family to an outdoor adventure, or make certain delivery, consider renting one of the many Melbourne cargo van rentals. Renting one is advisable because it boasts enormous storage capacity, handles a lot like a traditional vehicle, provides excellent front-end clearance and driving visibility, and is easier to maneuver through narrow streets than other trucks. Additionally, it offers more protection to cargo than pickups.
- To experience a smooth driving experience, you must be aware of certain rules applied to Melbourne cargo van rentals. In this city, you can only stop in a loading zone for a maximum of 30 minutes, unless otherwise stated, if you’re dropping off or picking up goods or passengers. The metric system is used. Therefore, speed limits are in kilometers per hour, and gas is in liters. When driving, maintain a maximum speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) in a school zone or shopping strip, 50 km/h (31 mph) in built-up and outer metropolitan areas, and 100 km/h (62 mph) on country roads that serve this city.
- In Melbourne, you can land at Melbourne Airport (MEL), the city’s primary airport, or Avalon Airport (AVV), the city’s secondary airport. At either, you can easily rent a cargo van, given that they feature offices for car rental agencies that offer such vehicles. In MEL, you’ll find counters for providers of Melbourne cargo van rentals like Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, and Thrifty on the ground floor of the Short Term Car Park and information desks in the Domestic Terminals. In AVV, you’ll find counters for the same agencies by the information desk outside the arrivals area. The cargo van rentals offered at the airports are often in demand. Reserve your preferred cargo van rental in advance to avoid settling on one you hadn’t planned for.
- Melbourne is prone to strong winds from March to December. Strong winds tend to lift cargo vans from the surface. This makes it harder for drivers to steer because the lift results in less vehicle traction. Heavy downpour is experienced from September to November. Like strong winds, downpour leads to less vehicle traction. If you’re driving and get caught by heavy winds or downpours, wait out the prevailing weather conditions at a safe place. Alternatively, drive slowly.

FAQs About Hiring a Cargo Van in Melbourne
What are the requirements to rent a cargo van in Melbourne?
To rent a cheap cargo van in Melbourne, you must be at least 21 years old, with an open license that you’ve been using for the past 12 months, a credit card with your name and address, and a passport. If your driver’s license is written in another language besides English, you must accompany it with an International Driving License. Note that if you’re below 25 years, you’ll incur a bit more than older drivers. This is because Melbourne cargo van rental providers apply a young driver surcharge on young renters.
Are there difficult times to drive a cargo van in Melbourne?
Yes, there are. In the morning, peak rush hour traffic begins at about 6:30 am and last till 9:30 am. In the afternoon, it runs from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm. It’s best to avoid the Monash Freeway, M80 Ring Road, and the West Gate Freeway during these periods since they’re the most affected. If you have to drive during these hours, consider installing a GPS that will assist you in finding less congested routes.
What are the child seat rules in Melbourne?
If you plan to ride with your child in your cargo van rental, note that children below four years are required to sit in rear-facing child seats in this city.

Aug 2017
Pros:
Agent who helped us with the return was good. It was unclear why the amount we were told the rental would cost, and the cost the computer showed were different (not to our favor by quite a bit). He tried to find out what happened and made adjustments. Also told us about a great place to eat.Cons:
Hertz seems to rely on the clients to take pictures of any car damages when they pick up the vehicles, and have those pictures to show the agents when returning the car. Very much on the honor system, which if it works is fine - just surprised that they don't have such pictures in the Hertz system tagged to each vehicle.Dollar

I was supposed to return the car st 11:00 am but due to many reasons it was delayed by 45 mins. The staff earlier promised to not charge me when I spoke on the phone but on my return , I was charged an additional $22 which was equal to half the value. This is grossly InjusticeBargain Car Rentals

Pros:
Good service, and a nice car in the end but...Cons:
the original size of car shown on your website was not provided (shogun sport or similar). Instead was offered asx (2nd booking confirmation from you guys). I took one look and knew there wasn't enough luggage space as we had 2 large suitcases an, 2 carry on suitcases and 2 small bags. I know the size of a shogun sport. The only larger car they had (which we could get all our luggage into Was an exec (Merc e class). Although they 'did a deal' I still had to pay more than DOUBLE to get a suitable car to meet our needs for the trip (an extra $40 A DAY)!!! Just about to book a car for our trip to the states. Won't be using kayak to book with again. Europcar said this often happens with regards to class of car when booked through a third party.Thrifty

Pros:
Staff was fine - but the car as advertised was NOT what was produced, which was acknowledged. But there was nothing to do by that point as we had to leave.Cons:
The car as advertised should be the car that is given. I gave up a cheaper reservation, closer to home for this one. Just wrong.6.8 Okay
Jan 2020
Pros:
The car was great and had no issuesCons:
I hired the car expecting to pay the quoted price on the website. Instead when I arrived to Avis with my itinerary in hand for the week ahead I was charged double by hidden fees for my being 23years old. Not a word was mentioned about by the website nor the staff until the keys were being handed to me and asked to sign the paper work. At that moment in time it’s too late to go through another rental agency or cancel plans so I had to bite the bullet. Please read all fine print and ask questions before you book.9.6 Wonderful

The surcharges should’ve been known at the beginning. There were many hidden fees that showed up on the final invoice that wasn’t explains. Also, the location was hard to find since they were a part of hertz — this caused many confusion.3 locations in Melbourne
