FAQ
Questions, answered.
What do I need to rent a car?
Bookings run through Turo, so you’ll need a valid driver’s licence and a verified Turo account. Signing up takes a couple of minutes and approval is usually instant.
Is insurance included?
Yes. Every trip is covered by Turo’s protection plans. You choose your level of cover at checkout, so you’re never driving uninsured.
Where are you based, and can you deliver?
We’re a local host in Deanside, Melbourne. Local pickup is free, and delivery is available on request (including Melbourne Airport). Use the quote form for delivery options.
How do fuel and distance limits work?
Each car’s included distance and fuel policy are shown on its Turo listing. As a rule of thumb: return it with the same fuel level you picked it up with.
How do I pay?
All bookings and payments are handled securely through Turo. No cash and no awkward deposits at a counter.
Can I get a car that isn’t listed?
Sometimes we can help. Send us a quote request with your dates and what you’re after, and we’ll let you know what’s available.
