If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car.

  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
