- While driving in Victoria, children younger than seven are required to use either a child restraint or a booster seat at all times. Children younger than six months need to be in a rear-facing child restraint, while those aged from six months to four years must be in a forward-facing child restraint with an in-built harness. Children older than four but under seven years old can either be seated in a similar restraint or in a booster seat. Regardless of age, the restraint or booster must be appropriate for the child's height and weight and needs to be appropriately adjusted and fitted.
- If you're hiring a car in Victoria, you may be planning on heading across state borders into New South Wales or South Australia. The majority of car hire providers in Victoria will allow you to take your vehicle to these two states, and they may even be able to offer one-way car hire, especially if you're driving to major cities like Adelaide or Sydney. However, bear in mind that car hire companies in Victoria may not allow you to take your vehicle to other states and territories, including the Northern Territory and Queensland. If you plan on taking it on the ferry to Tasmania, additional insurance fees may be necessary.
- If you're driving in Victoria's biggest city, Melbourne, make sure you're familiar with the road rules regarding trams. If you are driving near a tram that makes a stop, you're required to stop at the rear of the tram to allow passengers to board and disembark safely. You are also only allowed to overtake trams on the left. You can only drive along tram lanes for 50 metres before turning during hours of operation. Meanwhile, you can drive through bus lanes throughout Victoria for up to 100 metres when entering or leaving the road during operating hours.

Car hire FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Victoria, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 20 August 2025.
Should I hire a car in Victoria?
Hiring a car is a great choice for anyone who wants to explore Victoria fully. If you're staying in Melbourne, there are a number of attractions just outside the city that are much easier to reach via car than public transport. For example, the Dandenong Ranges can be reached in roughly an hour via car but can take up to 1h 45min to reach via public transport. The popular Werribee Range Zoo is around 35min from the centre of Melbourne via car but can take about 1h 45min to reach by train and bus. Victoria also has some popular road trip options, including the famous Great Ocean Road; it spans roughly 240 kilometres and takes you along the state's southern coastline, including hotspots like Bells Beach and Great Otway National Park.
What is driving like in Victoria?
Driving in Victoria will usually be a pleasant experience. In the biggest cities, like Melbourne and Geelong, the roads will get busy, particularly during peak hours (usually between 7 am and 9 am and 4 pm and 7 pm). When driving in more rural areas, keep an eye out for wildlife and farm animals. This is particularly important around dawn and dusk. There are a number of toll roads throughout the state, particularly driving into and out of major cities. You can buy a pass that grants up to three days of use of the roads or purchase an electronic tag that charges for each trip.
How old do I have to be to hire a car in Victoria?
To hire a car in Victoria, you need to be at least 21 years old and you will also need to have held a full licence for at least 12 months. Most companies will also apply an additional daily young driver's surcharge for anyone under the age of 25. They may also restrict certain vehicle classes, such as luxury vehicles, to drivers over 25 or over 30. If you hold a driver's licence from overseas, you can use this for up to three months in Victoria. If your licence is in English, you usually won't need an International Driving Permit (IDP).
