Bells Beach provides a great road trip destination and isn’t far from Geelong at all. Torquay really offers the best of both worlds with its protected family beaches along with the action of great surf. Not much further is Jan Juc, which is a little bit wilder and then Bells Beach is the next stop on the coast. These swells are definitely for experienced surfers though so newbies should beware. Point Addis offers gorgeous views to the sea and bay. Make sure you pack your digital camera before driving your car rental as the towering yellow cliffs make for fantastic photos.

If you’ve hired a Geelong car rental then it couldn’t be easier to access a fantastic slice of Victoria, The Great Ocean Walk. Located in the southwest of the State and offering magnificent views and locations, the 91km trail winds its way along the beautiful coastline. There are plenty of access points, so there’s no need to walk all 91km, and travellers often stop over for a short day or overnight walk between the resort town of Apollo Bay and Glenample Homestead near Port Campbell.

The National Wool Museum is ever-popular and has three separate galleries. It’s set in a historic 1872 bluestone woolstore and provides an entertaining education about the history and politics of the wool industry. Move your car rental to the Museum that offers a slice of history.

Ford lovers will be in their element at the Ford Discovery Centre. Ford Australia started its operations in Australia in Geelong in 1925. The Centre showcases everything Ford, from the early beginnings to the latest high technology.

With gorgeous waterfront eateries and beautiful landscaped gardens, a walk through this city is a great way to get it to know it better. Not to mention the walking paths are set against a backdrop of Corio Bay — and you may need to walk off some calories after sampling the culinary delights.

Geelong has over 100 heritage buildings which are classified by the National Trust so it’s easy to see why this is a popular destination for visitors to Victoria. A rental car is the perfect way to get around town and see the history and architecture on offer.
