  • Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the left side of the road in Australia.

  • Stay within local speed limits of about 45kph through built-up areas and around 95kph on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.

  • In Australia, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you expect to drink, leave the driving to someone else or find an alternative way to get around.

  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
