Cheap car hire Wangaratta from compare car rentals

    Wangaratta is about a two-hour drive north of Melbourne. Coming in from Sydney most drivers will encounter the town of Wangaratta soon after they pass through the border town of Albury Wodonga. Car hire at Wangaratta speeds you into this part of the southbound traffic since the driving distance to Melbourne is relatively short.

    People heading to Sydney out of Melbourne will pass through for much the same reason. However, those who do stay will discover a rural Australian town that is surprisingly cosmopolitan with a number of nice restaurants and visitors from all over the world.

    Many providers of cheap car hire in Wangaratta will boast about the fact that internationally famous singer and songwriter Nick Cave is from Wangaratta. Do not be surprised if you arrive at a hotel here and hear his music playing!

    This is a working class town. However, its location on the Hume Highway that runs directly between Sydney and Melbourne means that the town is far more activated and exposed to other influences than it otherwise may be.

    Some car rental in Wangaratta is offered out of caravan park style accommodations in cabins but these may be prohibitive in the relatively cold winter here. Instead, try one of the many delightful motels.
