$41 Car Rental Collingwood

Collingwood has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Grab a set of wheels and head off to explore the wider area. We've pulled together these great options:

• Head off to Ballarat for an excellent sightseeing adventure. About 65 miles from Collingwood, it has tons of great attractions like Sovereign Hill.
• Your next pit stop? It has to be Bendigo, which is around 80 miles away. Bendigo Art Gallery is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
• Make tracks to Mount Hotham to reconnect with nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just recharge your batteries in the fresh air. From Collingwood, it's about 130 miles away.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
