If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
