墨尔本租车公司推荐及价格参考
2025年，墨尔本国际机场及市区的租车公司主要分为国际品牌和本土品牌。国际品牌包括 Hertz、Avis、Budget、Europcar；本土品牌则有 Redspot、East Coast Car Rentals。租车价格通常在每天 47-65 澳元之间，周末和旺季价格可能上涨至 70-100 澳元。
Pro Tip: Booking through an Australian car rental comparison website like DriveNow can get you a "price guarantee" service.
Understanding Car Rental Insurance: Basic CDW vs. Zero Excess Almost all rental quotes include a basic Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), but "waiver" does not mean you're free of all liability. It simply caps your potential financial responsibility at an "excess" amount, typically between AU$2,000 and AU$5,000. For example, if you scratch the rental car and the repair cost is AU$4,500, you are still liable for the full amount even with CDW. It′s also crucial to note that some CDW policies may not cover specific types of damage, such as to the windshield, tires, or undercarriage. Therefore, Zero Excess insurance, which reduces your liability to AU$0, is highly recommended for peace of mind. While it adds an extra AU$40−75 per day, it can save you from significant financial stress.
小贴士: 另外一种道路救援险也建议购买。服务包括更换电池、充电、更换轮胎、拖车服务、钥匙遗失、紧急加油等，非常实用，费用约 10 澳元/天。

At some intersections in the city center, vehicles turning right must first move to the far left lane and wait for the cross street's traffic light to turn green before completing the turn. This special rule prevents obstruction of trams. - 电子收费公路：
