Cheap car hire in Coburg
KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Coburg
- Coburg is a suburb of Melbourne that’s around 9 km north of the CBD and around 15 km southeast of Melbourne Airport (MEL). Though there are plenty of excellent public transport options available for trips into Melbourne’s CBD, if you wish to explore Port Phillip Bay, Mornington Peninsula, the stunning Great Ocean Road or the wine country and national parks of Yarra Valley, then car hire in Coburg is an excellent idea.
- Melbourne Tullamarine Airport offers plenty of options for cheap car hire in Coburg. There are four terminals at the airport, but all the car hire kiosks can be found opposite Terminal 2. Once you’ve booked your vehicle, you’ll pick it up from the ground floor of the car park for Terminals 1, 2 and 3. There are usually plenty of vehicle options available if you make your booking on the day, but you can save time and money by selecting your car and pre-booking through KAYAK.
- Melbourne has an extensive tramline that extends into Coburg. Though this is a beautiful aspect of the city, it can present challenges to drivers not used to sharing the road with trams. Of course, this shouldn’t put you off car hire in Coburg. There are just a few key things to keep in mind. You can’t overtake a tram on its left, and you should avoid driving in the tram lane unless you need to turn right within 50 metres. If a tram ahead of you stops, you must stop behind it, as you need to give way to any pedestrians boarding or disembarking from the tram.
- You will find plenty of cyclists on the roads in Coburg and the northern suburbs of Melbourne. For this reason, it’s important to have a good understanding of how to safely share the road with cyclists. Keep at least a 1-metre distance from bicycle riders when travelling at less than 60 km/h, and make it 1.5 metres when driving faster than 60 km/h. Avoid driving in bike lanes, always check your mirrors and blind spots before turning or changing lanes and watch out for bike riders entering the road in Coburg’s residential streets.
- Book your car hire in Coburg at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Standard hire cars in Coburg are around 69% cheaper than other car types, on average
