When considering the ideal option of your car rental in Melbourne, it is important to consider what needs you have and what kind of experience you are looking for. Melbourne has beautiful coastal roads, some areas of heavy traffic, and crowded beaches. Travelers would do well to focus on a comfortable full-sized car. The car will not be too big or bulky to navigate in unknown areas. Also, a full-sized car allows for a comfortable interior and smoother driving experience down the Florida coast. If you’re traveling to Melbourne on vacation and you’re looking to drive in style, consider renting a convertible with an automatic roof to enjoy the sun and fresh air.
Drivers can expect to drive 30mph in residential, business, and municipal traffic areas. School zones drop down to 20mph. Drivers on interstates, highways, and freeways in the area should expect speed limits of 55 to 70mph. Drivers should be cautious for radar speed limit signs and some traffic lights equipped cameras near the city center and close to the airport.
Visitors should be prepared to spend a few dollars for parking while in Melbourne. This is especially true if visiting downtown or some of the beaches. Downtown Melbourne provides some on-street parking on New Haven Avenue, and there are multiple public parking garages sprinkled throughout the downtown area. However, many locations offer free parking as well. Several of the beaches provide free parking centers too. However, these areas are extremely popular, and it can be challenging to find a spot.

I canceled my Thrifty reservation (made 6 months prior) as I was staring at a line of 6 people ahead of me, in a mostly empty airport. The man working the counter at the Melbourne International Airport appeared to be extremely slow, and the line didn't move in the 10 minutes I stood there. I decided to quickly access carrentals.com, and found a car at an adjacent agency that had no line. They actually upgraded me from a Ford Focus to an Infinity Q-50. Long story short, the line took way too long. After getting off a plane with a toddler, I'm not waiting 20 minutes or more to pick up a reserved car. C'mon.2 locations in Melbourne

The guy in Melbourne was not customer friendly. Couldn't give me an idea where the car was in the mall parking lot. The parking lot couldn't find the car and finally said he couldn't speak English. I wandered around a mall parking lot for 15 minutes pushing the lock door button to hear a chirp.Cons:

Pros:
The check-in was smooth and quick. Had no hassles about supplemental insurance. Be sure to use your credit card for the rental. Mine has secondary car rental insurance. Mostly pleased with the Nissan Altima. Had two small dents that were noted but there were other scratches and one dent that was not highlighted. We took pictures of the scratches and the dent. Drop-off was quick and easy.Cons:
No obvious complaints. Price was more than I wanted to pay but competitive with other rental companies. Had a few extra expenses that blindsided me but cannot do anything about that. Final price was higher than expected by about fifty dollars.4.4 Mediocre
Jul 2020
Pros:
The staff was friendly and worked with what they had, as it was not their fault personally.Cons:
No one answers the phone - I tried calling multiple times for it to go to a voicemail. When I arrived initially to pick up my rental car I was informed there was only one vehicle available and it was a massive SUV (I called the day before the rental to confirm a smaller vehicle would be available and was told yes and I was all good to go). The woman then informed me there was multiple additional charges being added to the rental agreement. I also had an issue with the vehicle during my rental period and could not get a hold of anyone at the rental company, so I went to the location and saw the employees are just sitting there IGNORING the phone ringing on purpose.10.0 Wonderful

April was great and able to answer my questions about possible extending my rental. She even gave me her direct line if I needed to call.Cons:
The airport (MLB, Melbourne, Florida) doesn't have the best layout regarding where the rental cars are. Not Dollars fault though!One location in Melbourne
