Drive Your Dream Melbourne Adventure with SUV Hire
Victoria’s landscapes are as diverse as they are breathtaking, and an SUV gives you the freedom to explore it all. Hop behind the wheel and wander through historic towns, sip world-class wine in the Yarra Valley or chase waterfalls in the Otways. Melbourne is the place to find your dream drive.
Every route tells a story, and with an SUV, there’s space for everyone and all their gear. All that’s left is to pack a playlist and choose your own Melbourne adventure.

When is the most popular time for SUV hire in Melbourne?
The most popular time for SUV hire in Melbourne is during school holidays, long weekends and peak summer months (January, February and March). Families, groups, and tourists often book SUVs for road trips along the Great Ocean Road, Yarra Valley or for city escapes, so availability can be limited during these periods. For groups larger than 7, consider one of our mini-buses instead.
