I suggest the host to pick up the car directly from Melbourne Airport. All rental car companies at Melbourne Airport will have pick-up counters, so it's very convenient. Then drive directly to the Great Ocean Road, which is also on the way and avoids detours in the city.

When watching the penguins return to their nests on Penguin Island, is it more convenient to drive the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne or take a ferry directly from the Mornington Peninsula?
