Portland Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and FAQ for renting and driving in Portland, Victoria, Australia

Can I drive in Portland with my foreign license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
You can drive in Victoria with a valid foreign license if it's in English. If your license is in another language, you'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original license. An IDP costs around $20 USD and is valid for 1 year. Police may ask to see both documents during a traffic stop, so keep them together. No written test is required for tourists visiting under 3 months.
Australia drives on the left—will I have trouble adjusting?
Yes, Australia drives on the left side of the road (right-hand drive vehicles). This is the opposite of the US, Canada, and most European countries. If you're not used to it, practice in a quiet area before hitting highways. Victoria has many roundabouts—give way to the right at all roundabouts. Most rental cars have automatic transmission, which helps reduce driver stress. Avoid answering phones or eating while navigating unfamiliar left-side traffic.
Are there toll roads near Portland, and how do I pay for them?
Portland itself has no toll roads, but if you drive toward Melbourne on the M1/A1 highway, you'll encounter CityLink toll gates around Melbourne. Toll passes cost $3-14 AUD per trip depending on distance. You can rent a toll transponder with your car (~$13 AUD/day) or pay within 3 days online at citylink.com.au. Cameras will photograph your plate—fines start at $130 AUD if unpaid. Budget roughly $40-60 AUD for a round trip to Melbourne.
What should I know about wildlife on roads around Portland?
Kangaroos and wombats cause serious accidents in Victoria, especially at dawn, dusk, and night. Rural roads near Portland have minimal street lighting, making wildlife harder to spot. Reduce speed on country roads at these times and use high beams carefully. If a kangaroo jumps toward your car, brake firmly but don't swerve—most accidents happen from overcorrecting. Comprehensive insurance with animal strike coverage is strongly recommended; check if your rental includes it.
What are the speed limits and how are they enforced in Victoria?
Speed limits in Victoria: 50 km/h in urban areas, 80-100 km/h on regional roads, and 110 km/h on highways. Fixed speed cameras and mobile patrols enforce limits strictly—tolerance is only 3 km/h over. Fines start at $165 AUD for 10 km/h over. School zones (40 km/h) are clearly marked on weekdays during set hours. Rental cars are clearly marked, and police frequently patrol tourist routes. A Melbourne to Portland trip takes 4-4.5 hours at legal speeds.
What's the best way to refuel, and do rental cars use unleaded or diesel?
Unleaded petrol (91-98 RON) is standard in Australia. Diesel vehicles are common in some rental fleets—always confirm before picking up. Fuel prices fluctuate daily; expect $1.60-2.10 AUD per liter. Portland has 3-4 fuel stations, with prices slightly higher than Melbourne. Most rental companies use 'full-to-full' policy: you receive a full tank and return it full. Returning empty when the tank is full can cost 2-3x pump price. In remote areas between Portland and Melbourne, fuel up whenever below half a tank.
