A lot of travelers coming into Australia will arrive at the Brisbane airport or another nearby. They may want to try to travel on public transportation in order to avoid having to rent a car. Renting a vehicle for someone who doesn't do international trips often could seem daunting because you don't know the rules and regulations surrounding the rental transaction.

The surrounding areas of Brisbane, such as the Sunshine Coast region have a lot to offer travelers. But seeing these surrounding regions definitely require a car hire to get from place to place on your own schedule. When renting a vehicle in the Queensland there are just a few simple things that you need to know prior to travel.

A driver's license that's printed in English will be acceptable in Australia and you won't need to get a international driving permit. If your license doesn't have English on it however, then you'll need to apply for a IDP in your country before traveling to Australia. Then once you're in the Queensland you'll need to have the IDP and your license with you all the time.

You will want to verify your insurability before leaving home also. Check as you would before renting any vehicle with your actual vehicle insurance company as well as with your credit card companies. As long as you have insurance coverage you will be set, but you will need to get an international insurance card, also known as a Green Card in Australia. This can be obtained through your travel agent, or though the international car hire company that you will be using.

Of course, you'll need to take a look at and read the road rules for the Sunshine Coast excursion, because you want to be safe and arrive safely home from your vacation. There is a lot of online information for these types of regulations so be sure to review them before you leave home.
