Can I ask, I want to rent a car to go to the Great Ocean Road. I am the only driver, I am a girl, I have never been there, and I am still choosing between a small car and an SUV. According to the travel guide, it is recommended to choose an SUV. I am not used to driving an SUV, can a small car be okay ?

The road conditions on the Great Ocean Road are very good. I recommend traveling in a station wagon, sedan, or SUV, as there doesn't seem to be much of an advantage to either.

I went there last week. There was only one driver. We left the city at around 9:00 am and stopped at many scenic spots along the way. We didn't stop until 8:00 pm when we returned. Make sure you are prepared mentally. Fill up the gas tank before you leave!

It's suggested to practice more because Great Ocean Road is one-way and there are few places to overtake. Driving slowly might make others hate you.

Sure, driving on the Great Ocean Road is only slightly difficult on a mountain road, that is, it is a bit twisty, but it's not a big problem

I rent a Crown, which is easy to drive. There are basically no cars on the road, and the traffic conditions are all very good.

Dear experts, please help. I booked a Brisbane-Sydney one-way car rental online. After picking up the car from Hertz in Brisbane today, I will be visiting the Gold Coast for the next two days. I am considering leaving early from the Gold Coast to return to Sydney the day after tomorrow without any stops in between. Now that I have arrived at the Gold Coast, I want to stay an extra day and am considering returning the car directly to the Gold Coast airport and then taking a flight back to Sydney. The issue is that the original drop-off location was Sydney airport. Can I return the car early to the Gold Coast airport ? Australia Q&A
