Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't the same everywhere. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you might run into extra costs or rules. Check the specific rules for each supplier before booking your rental in Australia.

  • If the kids are coming with you, check if you should add a child car seat to your TMW car hire booking. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.

  • Bring the right documents to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no copies) and another form of photo ID. Bring a credit card with enough balance for the deposit too. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • Get familiar with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stay on the left side of the road in Australia.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Australia. The only guaranteed way to stay safe to drive is to avoid alcohol completely.

  • The Australian dollar (AUD) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day expenses and outings. Pay with a credit or debit card where you can, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't possible.

Drive smarter from the start

  • With a TMW car hire, you're in the driver's seat when it comes to where you go. If central Tamworth is your first port of call, it's around 13 kilometres east of the airport and a drive of about 15 minutes.

  • Allow roughly 20 minutes to get from Tamworth to the city centre during rush hours.

  • Aim 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.

  • Don't need a set of wheels right after landing? Think about picking up a car hire in Tamworth instead of at the airport. That way, you won't be paying for days you don't use.
