KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Preston

  • Hire a car in Preston to have immediate access to leafy towns just outside of Melbourne, such as Healesville, Kingslake and Yarra Glen. Travelling directly north or south from Preston on public transport is straightforward; however, reaching areas to the west or east, such as Parkville and Camberwell, requires multiple train and bus connections. Driving to Melbourne Zoo takes roughly 20min from Preston while a public transport journey is around 40min, providing the wait between buses and trains isn’t long. Picking up a hire car at Melbourne International Airport (MEL) saves you time and allows you to get to Preston in about 30min, with public transport routes passing through the CBD and taking over 1h 15min.
  • Travellers arriving at Terminal 1, 2 or 3 of Melbourne International Airport should use the covered walkways to reach the car hire facility, on the ground floor of the T123 Car Park. No shuttle is required for hire companies with offices on airport grounds as the vehicles are parked directly behind the car hire facility. A designated collection lane is located directly outside Terminal 2 for off-site companies providing a shuttle.
  • Tram tracks pass through the centre of Preston and drivers must be careful not to block the path of oncoming trams. As trams approach stops where passengers board and disembark, cars must stop behind the tram and wait until it is moving again before passing. There are level crossings at Bell and Preston train stations, and vehicles are not permitted to pass until the boom gates are fully open and the signals have stopped flashing.
  • Traffic is the worst in Preston between 07:30–09:30 and 15:30–19:30. The major arterial roads of Bell St, High St, St Georges Rd and Plenty Rd experience the worst congestion; drivers should expect delays when travelling during these peak periods. Preston can experience heavy rain during the winter months and it’s advised that you familiarise yourself with the windscreen wipers and defroster in your hire car to ensure visibility is optimised.
  • Book your rental car in Preston at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Preston are around 53% cheaper than other car types, on average
