FAQs — VicRoads Test Car Hire Melbourne

Do I need to hire a car for my VicRoads test?
You need to bring a suitable vehicle to your VicRoads test. If you don’t have access to a registered, roadworthy vehicle with dual controls, hiring a car from Freshers is the safest and most practical option.

Can I use my family car for the VicRoads test?
Yes, provided it is registered, roadworthy, and meets VicRoads requirements. However, most learners perform better in a car they’ve been practising in. Freshers test car hire lets you use the same car you’ve trained in throughout your lessons.

How much does test car hire cost in Melbourne?
Freshers test car hire starts from $150 for car only. A combined warm-up lesson plus test car is $220. All prices include your instructor accompanying you to the test centre.
