Driver’s Licence
In Australia all drivers are required to hold a current full and valid driver’s licence for at least 12 months, without any restrictions. Your valid driver’s licence must be presented when collecting your rental vehicle along with the licenses of any additional drivers. Learner permit drivers (L Plate) or Probationary licences (P Plate) are not accepted.
For visitors to Australia from overseas, Driver licences must be in English or supported by a certified translation or international driving permit along with your licence from your country of residence. For non-English language-based driving licenses we always recommend to also carry an International Driving Permit.
When you have multiple drivers, all drivers must be present on the day of collection and will be required to provide a driver’s licence and sign the rental agreement.
