KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Clayton

  • Hire a car in Clayton to enjoy the ability to move around Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs in your own rhythm. Having a car will allow you to drive directly west towards beaches, such as Brighton and Black Rock, rather than catching a connection of buses or trains that journey in and out of the CBD. It requires roughly 1h 30min to reach the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk from Clayton by public transport; however, a car will get you there in about 30min. Likewise, the trip on public transport to Mornington is more than halved to approximately 45min driving a hire car from Clayton.
  • Hire company offices at Melbourne International Airport (MEL) are located in the car hire facility on the ground floor of the T123 Car Park. This can be easily reached with a short walk from all of the terminals. No shuttle bus is required as the vehicles are parked directly behind the reception offices. A hire car will make your trip from Melbourne International Airport to Clayton much smoother, as a taxi fare will cost about A$ 85 and the closest shuttle service drop off is in the CBD.
  • Cyclists are common in Clayton and surrounding suburbs so it is important to repeatedly check your side mirrors while driving. Always provide at least 1.5 m of space when passing bikes. Hook turns are common in central Melbourne and drivers must turn right from the left lane by waiting in the intersection until the lights turn amber. Be careful not to obstruct tram tracks and only cross them when intersections permit. Pedestrian traffic is heavy in certain areas of Clayton and it’s best to slowly reverse out of parks.
  • Traffic on the roads in Clayton is worst between 07:30–09:30 and 16:30–19:00. Congestion is particularly evident on Princes Hwy, heading west in the morning and east during the evening. Delays can also be expected along Centre Rd and at the Clayton Station level crossing.
  • If you hire an electric car during your time in Clayton, you’ll be glad to know that EV car charging stations are well distributed throughout the city and its environs. Chargefox EV charging stations in Clayton can be found along Research Way, Scenic Boulevard and Princes Highway. EVUp Charging Stations are located along Garden Road, Clayton South and Notting Hill. If you don’t want the hassle of driving your car to these charging stations, book your stay at a hotel that has on-site charging, like Nate's Place Backpackers Melbourne, St Kilda Hostel and Punthill Dandenong.
  • Car hire in Clayton is only available to drivers 21 years or older. Drivers aged 21-24 years are charged a daily underage surcharge and can only hire specific classes of vehicles. Clayton car hire companies require drivers to provide a valid driver's licence that’s been active for at least one year and a credit or debit card in their name. International travellers are required to have an International Driving Permit or an official translation of the licence, depending on their home country, as well as their passport.
  • Clayton is covered with streets and freeways that link to toll roads. If you plan on travelling to other cities and towns near Clayton, it’s highly likely that you will use the toll roads in Victoria, including the CityLink and EastLink, which both connect to the Monash Freeway. These toll roads are indicated with distinctive blue signs with yellow lettering and are paid electronically using tags and passes bought before you travel or up to 3 days after you travel on them. If you’re searching for cheap car hire in Clayton, confirm your company’s toll policy before booking.
