Things to know about truck rental

Our trucks are easy to operate and only require a valid Class C driver licence to rent. Please be aware that all hirers and drivers must be over 21 years of age. 

Many of our rental trucks are fitted with a hydraulic lift, but please check with the SIXT Melbourne City team before you pick up your truck hire if this is required. You can also hire rope, moving trolleys and other moving supplies at an affordable price. Simply ask the team what’s available. 

Our trucks come in a few different sizes, so be sure to double check the clearance and weight limits before picking up your Melbourne City truck rental if you’re concerned. 

We know that plans can change at late notice, which is why we offer flexible booking terms and cancellations   on all SIXT Melbourne truck rentals.
