Can I drive in Gold Coast with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
