Melbourne has a well deserved reputation as the cultural capital of Australia. There is more food, fashion, coffee and art than you can shake a stick at. In order to take advantage of all Melbourne has to offer you can pick up a hire car in the city or at Melbourne Airport. The freedom of a rental car means that Melbourne becomes more than a fabulous city, it also becomes the beginning of an adventure into Victoria, from the gold fields of Ballarat to the vineyards of the Mornington Peninsula and of course the spectacular coastal drive of the Great Ocean Road. If you hire a car none of Victoria’s secrets will stay secret for long.
