Young Driver

Young Driver
 

If you are under 25, you will need to pay a small fee when hiring a vehicle.

If you are new to driving, every new journey will feel like a new adventure. Remember however, that there are a few things to keep in mind that will help you stay safe on the road.

Advice for young drivers

When it comes to renting a car, give yourself time to familiarise yourself with the workings of the car – steering wheel, mirrors, seat position – all of these things will impact on how well you drive and how comfortable your journey will be.

Some other notes to remember:

  • The driver must not use a mobile phone or operate the GPS while driving unless the device is completely hands-free.
  • Be mindful of travel times – if your journey has some hilly, tight, and winding roads, distances can be deceptive.
  • Plan your journey, take your time, and do not rush. Do not drive when tired. Take breaks and enjoy the journey.
  • Share the road with cyclists. Cyclists have the same rights as drivers. Slow down and pass safely and carefully.
  • Do not drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • The open road speed limit in Australia and New Zealand is a maximum of 100 km per hour. Generally, the road speed limit in urban areas is a maximum of 50 km per hour. At times you may need to drive slower due to weather, traffic conditions or winding roads.
  • All passengers must wear seatbelts at all times, including children. Children under the age of seven must be secured in an approved child restraint.
