Not an Aussie? Here are some tips for driving in Australia to keep you safe on the roads.

Drive on the Left

In Australia, you’ll be driving on the left side of the road. Be cautious, especially at intersections and roundabouts if you're not familiar with this.

International Driving Permit

If your driver’s license is not in English, you’ll need to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original license to legally drive in Australia.

Plan for Long Distances

Australia is a vast country, with major cities separated by long distances. Be sure to plan for extended travel times, especially if driving between cities like Sydney and Melbourne or Brisbane and Perth.

Seatbelt Safety

Wearing a seatbelt is mandatory for all passengers in the vehicle. Children under seven years of age must be seated in an approved child seat.

Age and Licensing Requirements

You must be at least 21 years old with a full, unrestricted license to rent a car in Australia.

Obey Speed Limits

Speed limits vary across Australia, typically between 40 km/h in urban areas and up to 120 km/h on highways.

Avoid Mobile Phone Use

Using a mobile phone while driving is illegal unless it's in a hands-free setup. Even when stopped, using a phone can result in fines, so make sure to have it properly mounted.

No Off-Roading in Rental Cars

Rental cars are generally not permitted on off-road tracks, including beaches or unpaved roads. If you're unsure, always check with SIXT before planning any off-road adventures.
