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.
