If you need a car rental in Melbourne then it’s Advance Car Rental, they are just awesome and no other company can beat their pricing and service. I asked my relatives and friends to suggest me a good rental car company and I ended with a suggestion like Hurts and others which were so expensive I looked online and I came across Advance Car Rental, their Google reviews were too good to be true but I got to say they provide the best customer service and have earned every single review. I rented a car twice during my stay in Melbourne and I had such a smooth experience, I picked up and dropped the car from the Airport shuttle in Melbourne Bonn was my contact person and I was provided an upgrade for both trips, as the car I wanted to book wasn’t available but he still made the booking for me with the same pricing and upgraded me to a bigger and better car, which was good and I didn’t have to pay anything extra. The first car I got was a KIA Stonic, which was brand new and drove only 4000 km and the second car I got was the Mitsubishi ASX, I had a fantastic drive with both cars. I have called their office and spoken to other staff members as well and they have always been very polite and nice Keep up the good work guys and thank you Bonn, you are awesome!!

Highly recommend to rent a car from here! Overall top-notch service and will definitely use them again when I am back in Melbourne! 1. Reservation of a rental car is so easy: Communicated via email and phone with Radhika and Bonn to reserve 2 cars for the family and it was easily done over the phone. 2. Added extra mileage on the car just in case we drove too much and Advance Car Rental simply helped topped up some additional cost that still made the car affordable compared to other car rental companies. 3. We had a slight tyre issue on our journey and they were quick to advise and follow up with us to ensure that we were being taken care of. Top-notch service. 4. Front Desk service was amazing (sorry didn't get your names!), the lady who helped with the payment and explanation of the tolls was amazing, the gentleman who helped with checking and passing us of the car was amazing as well! Overall, just a pleasant experience! (Side note: They offered a free upgrade but I rejected it because the car they gave was too big for our liking hahaha). Thank you so much Advance Car Rental!!

I was staying at Southern Cross and after reading related comments found here for car rental companies, I decided to check Advance Car Rental which actually is outside CBD closed to Queen Victoria Market. There I met Sid, who patiently and detaily answered my enquiries. I found him very helpful and trustworthy. The rental process was easy and smooth, the vehicle was exceptionally new just above 10k milage and in perfect conditions. As I was driving delightly towards Great Ocean Road, I received an unexpected call from Sid, telling me I had left my credit card at the store. I actually could make it simple by reporting loss to my bank, but since Sid had shown he's a reliable and trustworthy person, I decided to ask him if he could safekeep it until I returned to Melbourne city days afterwards. He readily offered his help. I am writing to show my appreciations for Sid, for his service plus the vehicle's quality. It was a five stars plus five stars' encounter.

I discovered Advance Car Rental through a travel blog. I was very surprised by how competitive their prices were compared to other car rental companies in Melbourne. The price I paid for the Camry I rented was cheaper than what those companies were charging for a Corolla (not to mention many of them were receiving subpar reviews from their customers despite the premium prices they were charging). The staffs here were very friendly and helpful. They even offered me free upgrade to a Camry hybrid when I collected the car. The car was clean and trouble free. We really enjoyed our trip with the car. If you are looking for renting a car in Melbourne for your holiday or business trip, I truly recommend this company.

  • CASEY KC

Pickup from Melbourne Airport return at CBD Melbourne office, rental 11 days cost only $855 AUS, limited mileage to 1 day 200km, for 11 days total 2200km more than enough for my trip, I trave 1300km for 11 days. Walking distance from ibis hotel to car rental company. We had a great experience at advance car, staff at CBD very friendly and return car process fast within 5 mins. I had a free upgrade to SUV and the car is new, mileage only 15000 km done. I rents cars a lot in many country around the world, this is one of my best experience, definitely recommending this to anyone.

  • Jordan Ng

The team at Advance Car Rental were very helpful in reverting to my queries via email and we subsequently proceeded with renting a vehicle with them. They were kind to provide us with an upgrade to our vehicle with no additional charge which made traveling with our children significantly more comfortable. The vehicle itself was clean and well maintained. The team kindly explained all the required details and we were able to drive off without a hitch. I would definitely rent with them again should the opportunity arises.

  • Yuna Yeap

We had an amazing experience with this car rental company. Our Jetstar flight got cancelled at the very last minute and our trip to Melbourne got delayed. Komal and her team were so understanding of our situation and tried their very best to accommodate to our last minute changes. Car was in good condition and it was also an easy pick-up and drop-off experience. Will definitely recommend anyone to use their service while in Melbourne. We know for sure we will go back to them the next time we visit Melbourne.

  • Paul Smith

From the start we have been very impressed with Advance Car Rental. They were diligent and totally transparent in their offer, keeping us fully informed throughout the process. Bonn worked extremely hard to find the right vehicle for us updating us as he did so. Nothing was too much trouble. every thing was exactly as promised with no dramas. For us we had the best vehicle for the best price without compromising service. Very well done and thank you so much for everything. ~ It made a big difference.

  • William Sim

Great location of the shop since it is in Melbourne CBD which is 5 mins walk from Queen Victoria Market. Advice to rent their latest Outlander SUV which is 2021-2022 model which the car supports in build GPS and Wireless CarPlay that makes your road trip to Great Ocean Road easier. Didn’t gave a 5 star because I was charged additional $38 for additional distance which I trust I didn’t. Please take note of the odometer at the beginning to avoid the additional charge. Cheers!

  • Ivan L

Couldnt be more happy with the entire experience, they were so helpful when my payment could not go through online and held my car reservation without a deposit. Got the car within 15 minutes and was guided through all the details of driving around australia. They even gave me a free upgrade! And were so nice about the entire thing. 100% recommend and as someone who rents cars a lot in many cities around the world this would rank as one of my best experiences ever.

  • M De

I am a current customer of Advanced Car Rental and i would love to share that i am very happy with their service. Excellent prices and communication is very consistant between the employees: i booked in a small car which is great and i was able to extend easily with no issues. Before you book online ring up the office and confirm that the options suit your needs and match the pick up /drop off location! Thankyou Team‍♀️

  • Emma Craig

Best car rental company I have experienced! The vehicle I received was perfect for what I needed and the whole process of collecting and returning the vehicle was extremely quick. The man I dealt with (very sorry I can’t remember the name) was very friendly and explained things thoroughly. Couldn’t be more happy with my experience and will definitely be returning to this company for my next trip!

  • Pramod Kumar Jangir

I have rented variety of cars from this place. Their customer service is amazing. They explain everything about the car rental agreement and answer all queries politely. Their staff is very supportive, humble and polite. They provide almost new cars. I booked for a small car twice, but got upgraded to a much better bigger car. I would definitely recommend renting cars from Advance Car Rental.

  • Ben Foote

The ladies at Advance were great, they took time to explain everything and how the Tolls worked in and around Melbourne, also thanks to David who was very helpful for our 1st time here driving in Victoria on holiday. Their website had a lot of issues, so they upgraded our car and insurance for free! don't hesitate to call and reserve a car, everything can be sorted with a quick phone call!

  • Jeff Ng

Enjoyed the great ocean road drive thoroughly in this pristine Kia Stonic that clocked only 2.2km on the odometer. A fun and enjoyable drive indeed for a car guy like me. I had some time to give it a good wash before returning the vehicle. Glad that I've rented from ACR and would definitely go to them when I'm back in Melbourne. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

  • Caitlin Goggin

A brilliant experience all round with Advance Car Rental! Car was in tip top shape, price was very reasonable for Melbourne, pick up and drop off were very pleasant and everything we needed to know was explained in detail. All went super smoothly but we got the impression things would have been managed well if any issues were to arise. Will definitely be back!

  • Joshua Sim

Had a fantastic experience with Advance Car Rental. Komal went out of her way to address queries that I had and was very patient throughout, even locating my misplaced sunglasses in the car. David also took time to assist upon collection and ensured everything worked well. Cars and clean and new at fantastic rates. Would heartily recommend this place!

  • Gaurav Agrawal

Amazing service and Easy booking process, friendly service counter staff and very good pricing rates. I rented KIA - Stonic very nice car with fuel full. Vehicle was a nice. They also have latest model of Hyundai, MG, Mitsubishi, Toyota, KIA with all the options, clean and tidy. We will most definitely be using Advance Car Rental again! Thank you!

  • Siddharth Khurana

The booking was smooth, I called them and they patiently explained the options . When I came to pick up the car the person desk told me about traffic rules and how to pay for toll as I am from not around. I liked the transparency. Car was nice conditioned we went to Phillip Island and 12 Apostles through Ocean roud Dropping off was also smooth.

  • CHEONBIN KIM

My best experience ever! Kind & Polite staffs, Prompt reply, New car collection and cheap. Especially impressed for their customer service. They took time to explain about the rental agreement, toll registration, even for Hook Turn! :D. will definitely visit them again and highly recommend to everyone !

  • Lewis Lee

Great experience, zero issues. Requested for early takeover and was provided, really appreciate the effort from the staff. Rented a Camry hybrid was an awesome car, clean and comfortable. Will recommend advance car rental and likely to rent from them again when I come back to Melbourne! Sept 2022

  • Sumit Sachani

We came across ACR through Google only when we wanted to hire a car for Great Ocean road.. It was our first visit to Australia & I had no experience of driving here but Mr. Pramod guided us very nicely & even taught me all rules & regulations very patiently.. I highly recommend ACR to everyone!!

  • Vishnuprasath Krishnamoorthy

We planned for a drive on the Great Ocean Road and was able to immediately get a car from ACR within 30 mins. The folks were really helpful in explaining the tolls and rules followed here. However, the total expense seemed a little bit on the pricey end - Detected one star just for the price.

  • Rachel Shaw

Great service - super friendly and responsive. The car was reasonably priced and any fees were well explained - there were no surprises. We left an item in the car on return and the team found this quickly and arranged for us to collect it. Would recommend highly and would book again.

  • ChangSheng Sze Tho

Great value for money. Pick up from Melbourne airport wasn't not so direct but was smooth. Just follow the instructions from their email. Pick up from a carpark 2km away from the airport however, they have frequent shuttle buses to ferry you over. Will definitely rent from them again.

  • Linda Rowan

Car check out was slower than we are normally accustomed to, but car was excellent and car return quick and easy. Hint park around the corner - off Queensberry St. Return of deposit was a bit slow, had us worried for a while. Close to trams if you need to use them to access a rental.

  • Kan Xinyi

We had a great experience at Advance Car Rental, the staff were very friendly and they helped us pick out the right car for our road trip. Even though we had a slight dent on our car plate, they were very nice about it. We will definitely recommend this place for renting cars!

  • Allison Blazosky

We needed a rental car in a pinch over the holiday season and Advance Car Rental came through. Their service was kind and efficient, the vehicle was clean and worked perfectly, and they even assisted us with last-minute tollway registration. Would absolutely recommend!

  • Peter Hoppe

A pleasure to deal with. Shuttle service was excellent to and from Melbourne Airport. Vehicles are clean and new. The shuttle drivers to and from the airport were very welcoming and friendly. Staff at the desk are respectful, polite and professional.

  • HC Owls

Excellent service! The staff looked after us well when we booked from Canada. On pick-up everything went smoothly and we got good advice about the highway toll app. On return, staff again were super friendly and even recommended a great gelato place.

  • Zan Yak

Bonn is very helpful and kindly explained and guide us on how the toll works. Renting a car here is easy and hassle free. He also introduce us a great coffee place near here as well. Good experience and will surely recommend this place …

Really bad service I had with advance car rental. Do not go there ever. They do not give back bond amount and although I had insurance of a car, they deduct my money from my account without asking me.
