Travels in 2013, updated 17 November 2015
Our Journey: To travel up North to Pinnacles, and down South to Margaret River region & around.
We used: Bayswater, www.bayswatercarrental.com.au
Verdict: We chose Bayswater because of good online reviews. Apparently a value for money option. Our rental experience was smooth and efficient with no hiccups. They are known as the no birds car, their cars easily spotted on the roads.
Others: Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Thrifty, Redspot, Burswood Car Rentals.
www.vroomvroomvroom.com.au is a good tool to compare the rates among (big) car rental companies in Melbourne. You can usually book a car at a low rate. However, the website doesn’t include the ‘Other fees’ mentioned above.
As we didn’t want to shock ourselves with the many extras to top up when we collect our car, we reckoned it’s better to book straight from the car companies. At least the online quote (price + adds on) given to us is nearer to the actual price we are going to pay. And since we are on a budget, we went looking for smaller car companies. :)

After our Great Ocean Road drive, making Warrnambool and Port Fairy our last two stops, we headed north to the mountains– Halls Gap at Grampians National Park! After a long drive from Port Fairy, we were happy to see a sign welcoming us to “Grampians National Park”. Finally we’re …
We drove from Melbourne through Great Ocean Road in 2.5 days. I’ve written about Day 1 and Day 2 of the trip in Great Ocean Road Self-Drive Itinerary (1/2) and Drive to 12 Apostles from Melbourne (2/2) respectively. After the famous 12 apostles, people will usually turn back and return to …

Got the following information from our stay at Pebble Point (www.pebblepoint.com.au). See my review of and experience at Pebble Point.
The information given is useful, but too bad we have already done up our itinerary when we saw it. I would definitely refer to this set of information when I plan to go to Great Ocean Road drive again!
