Fivegear Clutched March 5, 2012 Share March 5, 2012 Hello, Plan to go Australia Gold Coast for holidays and going to rent a car. But as it is Left hand drive so am wondering that is a too steep learning curve. It will be my first time driving overseas. Any advises? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Supersonic March 5, 2012 Share March 5, 2012 Should not have any problem driving in Australia, but the road condition there not the same as sillypore, esp if you drive to suburb and rural area, have to drive carefully. Usually people will hire from big players like avis or budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ok double confirm, same as Sillypore so no problem liao lah. By the way, anyone has recommendation which car hire from Gold coast to pick from? Australia driving is even less stressful than here.. just take note on the speed limit.. they're pretty strict on it, and most other traffic rules.. Budget, Avis, Hertz all can be considered.. And make sure you rent something which you cannot drive here.. I rented the Ford Falcon XR6 when i was in Melb last May.. the 4lit I6 engine with RWD drivetrain is superb.. totally enjoyed the car..

Pocus Turbocharged March 5, 2012 Share March 5, 2012 Remember to drive at middle lane and only use the right lane only if you are overtaking. Give way if nessesary and dun road hog. Over there they are quite vocal and will wind down window to scold you if you pisses them off. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
