Add a car seat to your Port Hedland car rental booking if you're travelling with small kids. Regulations change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, weight and age is always the safest way to travel.
Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no screenshots) and a second photo ID. Also bring a credit card with enough available balance to cover the deposit. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.
Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, test the lights and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And importantly, stick to the left side of the road in Australia.
Follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
In Australia, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you think you'll be drinking, leave the driving to someone else or arrange a ride-share or taxi instead.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.
