$164 Car Rental Fawkner

Fawkner is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Pick up a set of wheels and take to the road to see what else awaits in the wider area. Here are a few ideas:

• Ballarat is 60 miles from Fawkner. Top-rated sights like Sovereign Hill should be high on your list here.
• Next stop? It has to be Bendigo, which is around 75 miles away. Bendigo Art Gallery is one local draw card you shouldn't miss.
• Get into the great outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Mount Hotham. You'll find it roughly 130 miles from Fawkner.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
