All people in Australia need to wear seat belts and children need to use child safety seats. Child safety seats can be rented from car rental companies... I have a record of two victories in head-on collisions with kangaroos...

Hello everyone, my husband will be the driver when picking up the car from Hertz. However, he does not have a credit card. Can I use my credit card to pay the deposit? (In the past, it was possible in New Zealand and Canada, but not through Car Rental. I wonder if it is mandatory to use the driver's credit card through Car Rental?) Thank you for your answers ? Australia Q&A

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
