KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hoppers Crossing

  • Conveniently explore Melbourne and other cities around the area with a car hire in Hoppers Crossing. It’s around 30 km from Melbourne and less than 50 km from Geelong. Hoppers Crossing is a good meeting point of Melbourne city suburbs and country Victorian towns, perfect for exploring the best of both areas. Although there are trains, it is far more convenient to book a Hoppers Crossing car hire when visiting the surrounding towns and the beaches around Port Phillip bay, as it allows for flexibility and freedom.
  • At Hoppers Crossing, the closest airport is Melbourne International Airport (MEL), where you can find car hire companies opposite Terminal 2. If you wish to find a car hire in Hoppers Crossing, there are many companies off the main roads near Princes Highway and Old Geelong Road. Hoppers Crossing car hire companies include a range of global organisations, such as Hertz, Europcar, Budget and Thrifty, as well as local companies, such as Sunnycars Car Hire, Keddy and Dollar Car Rental.
  • As there is not much traffic in the local streets, pedestrians may jaywalk in Hoppers Crossing without much warning. Also, cyclists sometimes ride on the road, in between moving and stationary cars. It is important to be wary about cyclists while driving your car hire in Hoppers Crossing, particularly when turning and parking. After you park, be sure to look around at your car mirrors prior to opening your door, to avoid hitting cyclists.
  • Driving within the Hoppers Crossing local streets is generally okay without much traffic. This differs, however, when driving near the freeways and highways. There is generally congestion around Forsyth Road Interchange as many cars and trucks drive through every day, and there can be heavy delays around Princes Highway and Princes Freeway during peak hours.
  • As you use cheap car hire in Hoppers Crossing, it is important to note there are toll roads that you might come across. One toll road running through Hoppers Crossing is the West Gate Freeway. The toll is collected electronically using a system called CityLink. To navigate this toll road, drivers need to have an electronic tag installed in their vehicle. The tag is linked to a prepaid account, and the toll is automatically deducted when the tag passes through a tolling point. Drivers can apply for a tag and set up an account online or at one of the CityLink customer service centres, or your hire agency may be able to provide one.
  • If you expect to drive with children in your Hoppers Crossing hire car, it is advisable to follow the child safety rules in the area. Children aged between six months and four years are expected to be buckled in the backseat in a safe and backward-facing kids’ car seat, while children aged between four and seven years can be placed in front-facing booster seats. All children under seven years are expected to be restrained in the correct child car seat for their age and size. Failing to comply with child car seat regulations can lead to a fine and penalties.
  • When looking for cheap car hire in Hoppers Crossing, there are several requirements that one must fulfil. To start with, most car hire companies require that drivers be at least 21 years old; although, some companies may require drivers to be older. Additionally, drivers need to have a valid driver's licence and a credit card in their name to hire a car. While some companies may accept debit cards, it's important to check with the hire company beforehand. It's worth noting that car hire companies may also require a deposit or additional insurance for drivers under the age of 25.
