Driving in Melbourne: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Melbourne.
If your licence isn’t in English, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Rental companies also check that your identification details match your booking and payment information.
Navigating city driving
Melbourne has clear signs and tram lanes that need extra attention.
Driving is simple outside the centre, but trams have priority in some lanes. Navigation apps help you avoid slower areas and guide you to beaches, suburbs and major roads around the city.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Some major roads in Melbourne have tolls.
Tolls are electronic and billed to your rental car. Melbourne has no emissions zones. Check your rental company’s toll instructions so you understand how charges will be applied when driving around the city and nearby motorways.
Parking your car in Melbourne
Parking is easier in car parks around the city centre.
Street spaces are limited near busy areas and shops. Multi-storey car parks offer simple access to attractions. Always check signposts for time limits and parking fees before leaving your car.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find across Melbourne.
Petrol stations sit along major roads, and EV charging stations in Melbourne are increasing. Charging points are growing near shops and business areas. Apps like PlugShare help you find available chargers before longer journeys.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are steady, but tram rules need extra care.
You must stop behind trams when passengers are boarding or leaving. Traffic moves slowly in central areas and faster on motorways. Use clear signals, keep a safe distance and take extra care during heavy rain.
