Saving Tips

Pick up your car outside the airport. Grabbing your rental in Werribee instead of at Avalon Airport can be 15-30% cheaper. The short bus trip to the depot often saves you a heap of cash.
Play with your rental dates. A 5-day rental might cost less than a 4-day one if it hits a discounted weekly rate. It's worth checking different durations.
Fill up your tank in town. Fuel is way cheaper in Werribee or Geelong than on the Great Ocean Road. Topping up before you start your road trip is an easy win.
Time your booking for the season. For peak travel like summer holidays (Dec-Jan), booking 2 months ahead can save you from price surges. For quieter months, you can often find good deals closer to your travel date.
