The original poster, I can help you~~~I rented a car for the first time overseas, in Melbourne, it was a Hertz car~~~Very close to the Melbourne airport is Hertz, provided the driver's license, rental contract, notarized documents, credit card according to the prompts, and rented the car smoothly. There are mostly Japanese and Korean cars, and there happened to be a Golf, so I chose this one. It's a relatively new car, with over 20,000 kilometers, and it's very easy to drive. The clerk asked if I wanted to upgrade, if I wanted a full tank, and luckily reminded myself that refueling would be cheaper. Returning the car was also very smooth, just leave the refueling receipt and car keys in the car, and you can go~Is it very! Simple@!

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
