Local expert tips for hiring a car in Bendigo

  • Remember your licence

    Your overseas driver’s licence needs to be current and valid if you wish to drive in Victoria. You also need to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an English translation if your licence isn’t in English.

  • Peak hour traffic

    Bendigo’s busiest months are January, March and July. If you’re planning your visit for one of those months, expect traffic to be heavier than normal.

  • Parking

    There is available paid parking in Bendigo and special daily rates apply for all-day off-street car parks such as King Street, Queen Elizabeth Oval Municipal Car Park, McCrae Street, St. Andrews Avenue, Mundy Street, Tom Flood Sports Centre and Myers Street.

  • Flexible one-way car rentals

    Planning to get a one-way car rental for an interstate trip? You can book a hire car in Bendigo and return it to another location. Just untick the “Return to the same location” option in our search form and select your preferred return location.

  • Watch your speed

    Bendigo’s CBD, including the area bordered by the Bendigo Railway Line, Myrtle Street, High Street, View Street, Chapel Street and around Gaol Road and Park Road has a 40 km/h speed limit to improve pedestrian safety. You can be fined if caught travelling over the speed limit.

  • Fill your tank

    Before you return the vehicle to the depot, make sure it has a full tank of fuel to avoid extra fuel fees. It is recommended to find a petrol station that is close to your depot so that the tank will be completely full when you return it.
