Driving in Geelong
Major car rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, Budget, and Europcar operate in Geelong. Typical daily rental costs range from AUD 50 to 90, with weekly rates offering better value. Drivers must be at least 21 years old, hold a valid driver’s license (an International Driving Permit may be required for foreigners), and have a credit card for the deposit. Roads are generally well-maintained and easy to navigate, with clear signage. Parking in the city center and waterfront areas is available but can be limited during busy periods; paid parking zones apply. Renting a car is recommended for tourists who want to explore the Great Ocean Road, Bellarine Peninsula, and surrounding attractions at their own pace, as public transport options outside the city are limited. For city-only visits, a car is not essential due to walkability and public transport.
