Car hire Melbourne - Australia information
Experience Melbourne by hire car
Melbourne is, after
Sydney, the second largest city in
Australia with a population of approximately 3.7 million people. It is also the most southern city that inhabits more than a million people in the world. Melbourne is the capital of the state of Victoria and also the state’s major cultural, business and political centre. The metropolis is located on the large natural bay known as Port Phillip, with the city centre positioned at the estuary of the Yarra River (at the northern-most point of the bay). The metropolitan area then extends south from the city centre, along the eastern and western shorelines of Port Phillip, and expands into the hinterland. With your hired car, you will be able to explore all the city has to offer, as well as being able to explore its surroundings on your own time and schedule.
