I picked up the car in Geelong at 7 o'clock yesterday and drove for one hour and 10 minutes. The entire journey was on the highway with a speed limit of 100.

Take the car and stay near the airport. On the first night, it is not recommended to leave Melbourne. After taking the luggage and getting the car, it is already dark. Don't drive on the right-hand side of the road. Some cheaper hotels near the airport are Ciloms Airport Lodge, Ibis Airport, Best Western, Mantra Tullamarine.

Sugiyoshi, one hour's journey, the next day Campbell or Apollo. Not afraid of the dark, it's fast to Geelong when you come down the highway, there are street lights.

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
