The smallest continent on earth, also known as the "Down Under", invites you to long journeys through the Australian Outback with its fascinating landscape. With your own rental car you have the opportunity to explore the diverse flora and fauna on your own. In addition to desert areas, the Australian continent also offers untouched rainforest and numerous national parks, such as the Uluru-Kata-Tjuta National Park with the famous Ayers Rock.

What to consider when renting a car in Australia and the South Seas

The Highway Signboard to Drive on Left in Australia

In Australia and on some South Sea islands there is left-hand traffic. Therefore, make sure that the steering wheel is located on the right side of the rental car and that the gearshift has to be operated with the left hand. If you have any doubts about this, it is best to rent a vehicle with automatic transmission. Also carry an international driver's license with you to avoid hiring or traffic control problems. For a route that leads through the Australian outback, a 4x4 or all-wheel drive rental car is also recommended.
