If you're planning on driving around the city centre, consider getting an automatic compact model to save on fuel costs. If you plan on road tripping with a bunch of friends, a large SUV is always a popular choice. There are some hiking trails around the city, which you may need a 4x4 to explore properly. If you're there during the summer, splash out a little and grab a convertible vehicle.

The speed limit in and around Footscray is the same as the rest of Victoria, and you'll need to be aware of them wherever you drive. The inner city shopping strips and school zones have a cap between 30 and 40 km/h. Most of the streets in the built-up areas are limited to 50 km/h. Rural roads on the outskirts and running between suburbs usually have a speed limit of 100 km/h. If you're driving on some of the major motorways or highways, the limit will be between 110 and 130 km/h. Keep your eyes open for road signs letting you know what the limit is.

The majority of parking in Footscray, especially in the heart of the suburb, is pay to park. But, there are free parking spaces available in different shopping areas. These will be indicated by a white-and-blue parking sign. If there are parking meters, you'll usually get the first 15min free and pay per 15min increment after that. At the car parks around the business and shopping areas, you'll be given a ticket upon entry and then you'll have to pay for the ticket before leaving the car park.
