Car Rental Footscray

• Ditch the airport and CBD premium. Picking up your car in a suburb like Footscray is often 10-20% cheaper. It’s a quick train ride from the city and gets you on the road to western Victoria faster.
• Play with your rental dates. A 5-day rental can sometimes cost less than a 4-day one because you trigger a cheaper weekly rate. It's a weird quirk that can save you cash.
• Don't overspend on the car. A standard sedan is perfectly fine for the Great Ocean Road. You only need a bigger vehicle if you're hauling a lot of gear or people.
• Book ahead for peak times. If you're travelling during the summer holidays (Dec-Jan), book at least two months in advance to avoid high prices and sold-out cars.
• Fill up before you leave town. Fuel is usually cheaper in suburban spots like Footscray than on the highway or along the popular coastal routes.
