Melbourne has something to suit everyone...shopping, wining, dining, entertainment & sporting events, great coffee and fantastic car rental.

Such a unique blend of cosmopolitan culture, style and history can only be found in Victoria’s capital.

Make the most of your time in this fascinating city with a Melbourne rental car giving you the choice of trendy fashion stores, dine in funky cafes and stylish bars, watch intriguing film festivals or attend international sporting events.
Melbourne is by far the nation’s capital of fashion and style. It boasts the largest selection of Australian and international brands in the country and will leave you spoilt for choice! First time visitors should begin their shopping expeditions in Melbourne Central, Queen Victoria Market and GPO.

Boutique designers are often hidden away, so don’t forget to explore the many laneways and arcades.

Chapel Street is renowned for offering high-end fashion and internationally acclaimed Australian designers. Bargain hunters should check out Richmond’s factory outlets, or for something more individual, St Kilda is great for funky retro fashion.

Along with a famous sense of style, Melbourne is also renowned for its elegance, often hosting glamorous festivals, major exhibitions and world-class musical extravaganzas. Melbourne’s cultural and sporting calendar is bursting with events. Kick starting the year in style is the Australian Open Grand Slam, followed by Formula One racing and the AFL Grand Final. In between the succession of sporting events is an array of musical shows, comedy, jazz, food and wine festivals and the list continues. No matter what you desire, Melbourne will offer you the best entertainment in the country all year round.

With so much to experience in Melbourne, a great way to save money is to hire a cheap Melbourne rental car with DIY. We are offering the best deals to our customers so they can enjoy Melbourne as much as we do!

If food and wine are your passion, visit Lygon Street for kerbside Italian dining, Lonsdale Street for an authentic Greek experience or Little Bourke Street’s Chinatown. If mingling with food and wine experts from all over the world excites you, attend Melbourne’s annual Food and Wine Festival – the biggest culinary event of the year. For wine connoisseurs, the Yarra Valley is Victoria’s best known wine region. Over 170 wineries are ready to be explored in the Mornington Peninsula, which is only a short drive away from Melbourne by car.
