Can I take a rental minibus to regional Victoria?

Yes, you can take your minibus on longer drives across Victoria, including the Great Ocean Road, Yarra Valley or the Grampians. However, our vehicles aren’t permitted on unsealed or off-road tracks. Always plan your route in advance and stick to approved, sealed roads for safety and insurance coverage.

Are there tolls I need to pay when driving a minibus in Melbourne?

Yes. Melbourne has several toll roads, such as CityLink and EastLink, which are common on routes in and out of the CBD. Many rental minibuses include electronic toll tags for convenience, but charges will be added to your booking. If not, you’ll need to pay manually.

Do I need to worry about low bridges or narrow lanes in Melbourne?

Generally, 12-seater minibuses are fine on standard Melbourne roads. But some areas (like inner-city laneways, low-clearance car parks or underpasses!) can be tricky. Always check vehicle height before entering, especially with 22-seaters, which need extra clearance. Avoid tight laneways in the CBD where turning and parking may be difficult.
