What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Cooktown?

Can I drive in Cooktown with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked 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 used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
