Good to know
Age requirements for rentals vary by provider (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Australia may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
If you've got the kids in tow, check if you should add a car seat to your Liverpool car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.
Make sure you have the necessary documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
If you're unfamiliar with driving in Australia, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the left side of the road.
Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph through built-up areas and around 95kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Australia is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.
One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 8am. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.
The Australian dollar (AUD) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and outings. Pay with a credit or debit card when it's possible, but carry a little cash for places that don't accept electronic payment.
English is the language that most people speak in this country.
