Rent-A-Bomb

Rent a bomb is the place to go for those of us who are without wheels and just can’t justify the cost of hiring from the big rental chains. I have used them several times and keep going back.
They have older model cars that are cheap as chips to hire if your looking to stay within the metro area, or if you need to venture a little further they have premium cars that are available also. The premium models require a deposit of $ 400 and you get 112kms per day.
The insurance is terrific also $ 1750 if something unfortunate should happen, when you compare that to some of the bigger companies it’s less than half. You can also reduce this premium to $ 500 for only $ 12 extra a day.
Big tip. Make sure to call them to confirm your web booking is actually available.

Ever since I move to Melbourne, I’ve been a firm believer in rental cars because I don’t want the problems and baggage associated with owning a car. From regular servicing to maintenance to insurance to fast depreciation levels. So for the last year, car rental companies have been a friend of mine.
Rent a bomb in Richmond is one of my favourites because they are flexible and the prices are normally cheaper than elsewhere. You have the option of renting an older car (maximum age is 10 years) or a new car. If you’re only going to be driving in the metropolitan area, they’ll advise you to take an older car (which is much cheaper) but if you want to drive in greater Victoria, you’ll have to take a new car.
The standard insurance comes with an excess of $ 1750 which is much less than most places that have premium of $ 3000 in case you get into an accident and there is also the option to lower this.
The service is really good and the guys are very helpful and generally happy to help.
