The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available at Essendon Airport may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
You can choose to refuel in Caltex Woolworths located at 359 Keilor Road, Essendon. Be sure to fill up before returning your vehicle to avoid any additional fees from your supplier.
When you rent a car at Essendon Airport, general car insurance is covered by your car hire supplier. However, if your car is damaged or stolen while you’re renting it, you’ll be responsible for paying an excess ranging anywhere from AUD$4,000 to AUD$8,250.
