What do you need to rent a car in Melbourne?

Learner, restricted or probationary licences are not accepted where stated.
Notes: Some offers require the licence to be held for at least 1 year; others require 2 or 3 years. Learner, restricted and probationary licences are not permitted on certain offers.
