Car rental from Avalon airport

[richie9x]

In September with a friend I am planning to drive the Great Ocean Road using a rental car. I was thinking of renting from Melbourne Airport, but have been toying with the idea of flying into to Avalon (with Jetstar from Sydney) and renting from there. But will be wanting to return the car to central Melbourne.

Avalon airport website lists several well known rentals car companies, although Hertz seem to be missing. Has anyone had experience renting a car from Avalon? Anythings to be careful of or to watch out for. I guess with Tigers problems Avalon will have a lot less passengers going through it. Would the rental car booths have reduced hours? But I suppose if I put a reservation with enough notice there should ensure there are no issues.

Well renting in Avalon is not that hard. But my main problem is sometimes the cars they have are malfunctioning and the support is not that great. But you can try it on your own. Good luck.

Hi apollosama,

Welcome to AFF.

Have you had a bad experience renting out of Avalon :?:
