Driving in Australia: what to know and essential rules
Eight rules every renter should know before pick-up.
Drive on the left
Keep left, overtake on the right, and give way at roundabouts to traffic already in them.
Speed limits
Typically 50 km/h in built-up areas and 100–110 km/h on highways. Signs always apply.
Alcohol limit
The general limit is 0.05% blood alcohol. The safest rule is none if you are driving.
Seatbelts and child seats
Everyone must be restrained. Child restraints are required by age and height.
Phones
Hand-held phone use is illegal. Use a cradle or hands-free only.
Licence
An English licence is usually fine. Otherwise carry an International Driving Permit or official translation.
Tolls and fines
Tolls and fines are passed on by the supplier, often with an admin fee.
Wildlife and fatigue
Animals are most active at dawn and dusk. Stop for a break about every two hours.
Rules vary by state. Confirm with the local road authority and your rental supplier.
5 things to know before booking a convertible in Australia
Quick checks that save money and stress.
01Pack lightConvertibles have small boots, especially with the roof down. Soft bags fit better than hard cases.
02Sun protection mattersAustralian UV is strong even on cloudy days. Hats, sunscreen and sunglasses help on long drives.
03Compare the total, not the daily rateAdd one-way fees, young-driver fees, airport surcharges and tolls before you choose.
04Check age rulesSports and premium convertibles often need drivers aged 25 or over.
05Mind your valuablesNever leave bags visible in an open car. Close the roof when you park.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers. Details depend on your supplier and booking.
How much luggage fits in a convertible?
Usually one or two soft bags. Check the boot size if you are travelling with suitcases.
Where are the best convertible drives?
The Great Ocean Road, Grand Pacific Drive, Captain Cook Highway and Tasmania’s east coast are favourites.
Is there a minimum age for a convertible rental?
Often 25 for sports or premium models. Check the supplier terms.
Is the excess higher for convertibles?
Often yes for premium models. Compare excess reduction options.
Can the roof be closed in the rain?

Can I return a convertible rental in another city?
Often yes as a one-way rental, subject to availability and a possible fee.
