Cheap Car Hire Melbourne

Car hire Melbourne - a culturally prestigious city

With its great roads and infrastructure, car hire in Melbourne is perfect for all types of cars and drivers. The city itself is still in permanent competition with Sydney, which is larger, more conservative and the economic centre of the country. In contrast Melbourne has the reputation to be culturally more prestigious and more relaxed. With that you will also find many sports highlights such as the renowned tennis tournament “Australian Open” and the start of the annual Formula One Championship - why not jump in the hire car and join in Sydney by car hire is approximately 10 hours away.

Visit the various galleries easily with your hire car in Melbourne

The metropolis is also famous for the art scene and offers many possibilities to enjoy them.  Public sculptures and artefacts can be discovered on foot such as along the Yarra River. There is also a row of museums and galleries that can be visited. The fifth biggest exhibition buildings are the Ian Potter Centre and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Flinders Street, the NGV International and the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in the district of Southbank on the opposite side of the River Yarra and the Heide Museum of Modern Art.  Nearby there is a lot of smaller galleries which are also worth seeing and the majority can be easily reached with car hire in Melbourne.

Experience some Aussie culture of the insect variety in Melbourne

Another museum that is worth visiting: The Melbourne Museum in Nicholson Street is the most visited attraction in the city with its 700,000 visitors a year. The museum covers a wide range of topics from history and culture to giving visitors an insight into the natural and under-water world. An important part of the museum deals with the Aborigines. The Culture Centre which is called Bunjilaka displays lots of important artefacts and ceremonies from these people that were carried out in astounding ways in the hard natural environment of the Outback. Here, it gives you an interesting insight into the original history of the continent and its first human inhabitants. A further highlight of the museum is Bugs Alive! An exhibition that concerns itself with the fascinating, microscopic world of insects and beetles- different types of living spiders and small creatures of every kind can be admired from Australia’s varied natural environment. The exhibition of the legendary race horse Phar Lap is also very popular and can be easily reached with car hire Melbourne. The horse was extremely successful during the 1930’s and died under mysterious circumstances.           

Jump in the hire car and taste a variety of cafes and restaurants in Melbourne

For a trip by the sea, we recommend St.Kilda which can be easily reached in your rental car.  Once a run-down part of town, it is now a touristic highlight of the city.  The customised promenade and the surrounding cafes and restaurants have made this part of the city a hip and trendy place- that always gives off a great feeling.  In order to take a trip through the posh shop and boutiques we recommend Fitzroy or Acland Street- where there are also some very delicious restaurants that must be tried!  In addition, the fine beach of St. Kilda is visited very often in summer.  The whole square is a popular meeting place for the residents and visitors of the city.  Another tip:  Visit the historical Luna Amusement Park from 1912.  The old amusement park still possesses a lot of charm and belongs to one of the attractions of the district.
