The most popular pickup points include main airports such as Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport and Melbourne Tullamarine Airport as well as popular cities like Brisbane or Gold Coast Surfers Paradise.

Driving in Australia

In most Australian states and territories (the exception is the Northern Territory), if you are a visitor you are able to drive a rental car if you are over 21 years old and with an overseas licence as long as it is current.

Factor in long distances when you travel, especially in rural or remote areas. There are rest areas every 50 to 60 miles on highways. Extreme weather conditions often affect driving: be aware of flood, heatwaves or bushfire warnings when you travel. In some areas, a four-wheeled drive is advised.

The national speed limit is 110 km/h on highways. There are some variations, including the Northern Territory which is 130 km/h. On two-lane roads the limit is 100 km/h, in built up areas it lowers to 50 km/h and to 40 km/h near schools.

There are payable tolls on highways around major cities in Australia. Some use a fully electronic system so you’ll need to buy an e-tag pass to pay. These can be bought in advance or paid online up to 3 days after you’ve passed through the toll.
