Avis & Budget Car & Truck Rental Ballarat and Rix Cars

Rix Cars is a locally owned and operated business providing practical automotive solutions in Ballarat and across Western Victoria.

As an authorised Avis licensee since 1997 and a Budget licensee since 2015, we specialise in short to medium term vehicle rental, including cars, trucks, minibuses and 4x4s. We also offer our well-maintained ex rental fleet for sale directly to the public. (LMCT 9238).

Our network covers the western corridor of Victoria, including Ballarat, Bendigo, Castlemaine, Caroline Springs, Footscray, Hamilton, Horsham, Kyneton, Maryborough, Melton & Mildura.

We focus on fair pricing, reliable vehicles and straightforward service. With a wide range of late model options available across our locations, you can find the right vehicle for work or travel, seven days a week.

From 1 October 2026, the Visa, Mastercard, American Express and eftpos card networks will introduce ‘no surcharge’ rules for businesses that accept payments made using prepaid, debit and credit cards from each network. If your business currently charges customers a surcharge for these payment types, this change means your business will no longer be able to do this. Information from Mastercard, visa and eftpos is available here. For more information about the removal of card surcharging, you can visit the Reserve Bank of Australia’s website.
