Good to know

  • You'll need to hand over a few things when picking up your rental car: a current driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds for the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Your booking will show the full list of what's required.

  • If you're new to driving in Australia, don't forget that traffic here sticks to the left side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are usually about 45kph through built-up areas and around 95kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the Australian dollar (AUD) on your trip here. Along with your bank cards, consider bringing some cash for smaller purchases.

  • English is the language you'll hear most people speak in this country.
