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 7-seater in Australia
Quick checks that save money and stress.
01Seats and boot togetherWith all seven seats up, most SUVs keep only a small boot. A people mover keeps more luggage space.
02Book child seats earlyChild restraints are compulsory by age and height, and suppliers have limited stock.
03Compare the total, not the daily rateAdd one-way fees, young-driver fees, airport surcharges and tolls before you choose.
04Check who can driveAdditional drivers usually cost extra per day and must be present at pick-up.
05Check fuel, kilometres and extrasConfirm the fuel policy and kilometre allowance, which matter more on long family trips.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers. Details depend on your supplier and booking.
People mover or 7-seat SUV?
A people mover such as the Toyota Estima has sliding doors and easier access to the back row. A 7-seat SUV like the Toyota Kluger or Mazda CX-8 sits higher and suits rougher roads.
How much luggage fits with seven people?
Usually three or four medium bags in a people mover, less in an SUV. Pack soft bags.
Is one 7-seater cheaper than two cars?
Usually yes: one daily rate, one fuel bill and one set of tolls.
Do I need a special licence for a 7-seater rental?
No. A standard car licence covers vehicles with up to 12 seats, including the driver.
Can I add child seats?
Yes, for a daily fee, subject to availability. Book them with the car.
Can I return a 7-seater rental in another city?
Often yes as a one-way rental, subject to availability and a possible fee.
