Good to know
Rental age requirements aren't always the same across the board. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you might run into extra costs or rules. Check the rules for the supplier you choose before booking your car hire in Australia.
Add a car seat to your Orange car hire reservation if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their size and age is always the safest approach.
You'll need to bring a few things when picking up your rental car: an official driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.
Driving in Australia can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the left side of the road.
Local speed limits may vary, but it's normally around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways. Always obey the posted signs.
In Australia, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you're planning to have a drink or two, get someone else to do the driving or find an alternative way to get around.
Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother trip. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the Australian dollar (AUD) for everything you buy on your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cards and cash to ensure you're covered in all situations.
