It depends on the number of passengers and pieces of luggage. There are no traffic conditions.

I suggest an SUV for this road with steep slopes and many bends, as SUVs have better visibility. I recommend renting a slightly more expensive SUV with wide tires and a larger engine. However, if you are not used to driving an SUV, it's better to stick to what you are familiar with, like a sedan.

I'm picking up a car at the airport and planning to drive the Great Ocean Road by myself. I plan to return to Melbourne on the third day. The rental location is near Central Station. According to the return time, it should be before 5 pm. I would like to ask if driving from the Great Ocean Road to the Melbourne city center is very congested and will it waste a lot of time? Or where is it more appropriate to return the car? Thank you ? Australia Q&A
