Car Rental at Launceston Airport (LST) from $40

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
