Places to Visit with your Car Rental Dandenong, VIC
Before taking your hire car straight to the popular Dandenong Ranges, you’d be pleased to learn that there are some other notable stops and sights you can visit during your stay in town.
Dandenong Wetlands
Dandenong Wetlands is situated along the Dandenong Creek in Dandenong North, close to the Monash Freeway, between Heatherton and Stud Roads. The wetland is a piece of the Dandenong Creek ecosystem corridor, a network of parks and reserves.
Today’s park consists of a sizable area of passive parkland and several wetlands that serve as flood prevention basins, homes for local species, and improvements to the stream’s water quality. Ducks, herons, and raptors like swamp harriers are just a few of the numerous bird species that may be found in wetlands. You’ll also hear frogs calling in the marshes if you visit at night.
Vehicle access to Dandenong Wetlands is off Stud Road, and you can park your rental car at Dandenong Stadium.
There is a neighbourhood-type playground in the area, as well as barbecue facilities, picnic areas, public toilets and trails for walking or cycling.

What Our Customers Say About Us
Good cars, excellent variety and keen rates. Easy website booking. Airport pick up and drop off very good. Good people to deal with. I’ve used these guys twice and will continue on every Brisbane visit.
First time hire with Alpha and I must say it was great. Much better value than other hire companies. Was reticent about the off airport location but the shuttle was easy, virtually no waiting and drivers friendly and polite. Check-in and drop off very easy as well. Again, staff were great. Car clean and no problems.
I used Alpha 10 years back when they had just started out and loved their service back then, so when it came time to hire another car in Brisbane I sought them out. Super pleased to see their great work has paid off and they are now a massive company but have retained the small company service and vibe. Super friendly staff from the shuttle drivers, to front desk and phones. 0800 is answered quickly unlike others. Nice vehicles and great price. Will be back for sure.
Great experience renting a truck (both times). In both cases - clean interior, runs well. Hydraulic lift, A/C, cruise control were in good working order. Booked and paid online, no hassle pickup and drop off, friendly staff. Also, great price on truck rental, looks like the best in the city. Don't forget to fill that tank when returning the vehicle.
The business is located in the perfect spot in Hendra and there is a service station only metres away, making it super easy to refuel just before returning the car. The staff are quick, friendly and efficient. The car I had was relatively new and in excellent condition (although it did need a more thorough clean, which could be due to my last minute booking). The shuttle bus runs regularly and the driver was extremely helpful and considerate. Overall, I was very happy with every aspect of my first experience with them. It won't be my last!
