The busiest route served from the airport is to Sydney, which has the largest airport on the continent. Melbourne Airport is found approximately 23 km from the city center of Melbourne, and nearby the suburb of Tullamarine. The airport is therefore also well known as the Tullamarine Airport.

Europcar’s fleet of vehicles are all in good condition, as they are renewed on a consistent basis. They are also, on average, only 6 months old. Smaller vehicles from Europcar are usually more affordable, and are also very fuel-efficient. They are similar to the Hyundai Getz 1.4, and have a minimum age requirement of just 21. The Getz may have a manual or an automatic transmission and air conditioning, and it is a four-door vehicle. Although less expensive, smaller cars often don’t offer much room for luggage, and families may need to hire a slightly larger vehicle. Vehicles offering more space include the Skoda Octavia 1.8 Sedan and the Holden Commodore 3.6, found in the Standard and Full-size categories. They are able to store three or four large luggage items and are comfortable for up to five passengers.

At Europcar Melbourne Airport, SUV's similar to the Subaru Outback 2.5 and Subaru Forester 2.5 may be available, as well as cars that are considered to be more elegant than the ordinary rental, for example, the Audi A4 1.8. Many vehicles offered for hire by Europcar have an automatic transmission, which is a preferred feature by many customers. A car with an automatic transmission is also used for disabled drivers who have requested the use of hand controls at Melbourne Airport. Hand controls operate the brake and accelerator pedals of the vehicle, and may also come with a steering wheel knob for extra assistance. This device is free of charge, but should always be booked in advance.

From Europcar, a one way hire may be a convenient option for customers who would like to return the vehicle to another rental location, other than Melbourne Airport. A one way hire may be possible to arrange with Europcar, provided that the return location is not in Western Australia, the Northern Territory or on an island, as vehicles are usually not permitted to be driven into these areas, or taken on ferries to the islands. There may be additional rental costs if the vehicle is returned to a city that is different to the one from where it was collected. Customers of Europcar may also hire additional items of equipment for their vehicle, such as a satellite navigation system or a child seat.
