I'm picking up a car at the airport and planning to drive the Great Ocean Road by myself. I plan to return to Melbourne on the third day. The rental location is near Central Station. According to the return time, it should be before 5 pm. I would like to ask if driving from the Great Ocean Road to the Melbourne city center is very congested and will it waste a lot of time? Or where is it more appropriate to return the car? Thank you ?

Back the car at 5 o'clock after coming back from the Great Ocean Road is still a bit nervous, in fact it can be returned to the airport, the airport pick-up point is generally open until late, so you can play well during the day.

Melbourne is very congested. The Hertz return point in the city center closes at 6 p.m., but you can self-rent. Be sure to take good photos and keep them as evidence.

Driving in Australia is on the left-hand side of the road. If you are driving a manual car, you will need to be comfortable with driving on the left side of the road. You should also be aware that the speed limits in Australia are generally higher than in many other countries. For example, the speed limit on most highways is 100-110 km/h (62-68 mph). It is important to always wear your seatbelt and to follow the rules of the road. This includes obeying traffic lights, stop signs, and giving way to pedestrians and cyclists where necessary. In addition, it is illegal to use your mobile phone while driving in Australia. This includes making calls, sending texts, and using social media. If you are planning on driving in rural areas, be aware that there may be fewer services available, such as petrol stations and restaurants. It is also important to be aware of the potential for wildlife on the roads, particularly in national parks and reserves. Finally, make sure you have appropriate insurance coverage for your vehicle before you drive in Australia. This will protect you in case of an accident or other unforeseen event ? Australia Q&A
