How self drive luxury car hire in Melbourne works
Start with the Reserve form, a WhatsApp message or a call to 0478 889 116. The self drive form asks whether you will collect the car or have it delivered, and when it comes back. We confirm delivery with the quote. It also asks how far you plan to drive and how old the driver is. A reply confirming availability and the exact price usually arrives the same day.
A full licence is required, and overseas and interstate licences are accepted. A 50% deposit holds the date and the balance is paid in the week of the booking. Card, cash and bank transfer are accepted with no surcharge.
The bond is refunded after the car comes back, subject to no damage, cleaning, refuelling or extra kilometres. Extra kilometres are charged per car, from $2 per km on the GLC300 to $20 per km on the Aventador S.
Timing and where the cars go
Every hire is a 24 hour period, so plan the return time when you book. A hire that starts on a Victorian public holiday, or a pickup or return between 11pm and 5am, carries a 25% surcharge.
The service area covers Melbourne Metro, the Yarra Valley, the Mornington Peninsula and the Dandenong Ranges. It reaches Geelong and the Bellarine, the Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island. The Bentayga is comfortable on a long run to the Yarra Valley or the Peninsula. These cars have also been driven to Crown Melbourne, The Langham Hotel, Parliament House and Labassa Mansion.
