Speed limitation in Australia

Whatever happens, do not exceed the speed rate. This causes such effect on the policemen as a red flag on a bull. This violation practically never stays unnoticed, irrespective of the road. There are a large number of speed cameras and guns. Nowadays, the speed limitations in Australia are the following:

The maximum speed allowed at population centers is 60 km/h

Road traffic regulations in Australia

The Australian road traffic regulations have a row of radical differences from the ones usual for European drivers. That is why if you are going to hire a car in Australia, remember all these peculiarities:

Left driving

Traffic in Australia is left-turning, that is why you will not feel easy on roads for the first time. However, you will entirely have got used to this peculiarity by the end of the first day already. You will further not feel any discomfort as if you were driving like that for your whole life.

Double solid line

In Europe, crossing the double solid line is regarded as a serious offence. In Australia, this is a normal phenomenon. You can turn and run up through this line. The main thing is not to get used to it because, after coming home, you can be deprived of a driving license.

Road intersections

The situation on road intersections in Australia is exactly opposite as well. It is strictly forbidden to run up on the majority of them, unless otherwise stipulated by the road sign.

Cost of fuel in Australia

All fuel stations located near highways work 24 hours per day in the automatic regime only. It means you will manage to pay for the fuel only by credit card. If you need a fuel station where cash is accepted, look for it during the day. The prices for fuel are the following:

Fuel 95 costs 1.26 Euro
Fuel 98 costs 1.29 Euro
Diesel fuel costs 1.24 Euro.

Unlike Europe, where fuel stations are located everywhere, there are much fewer stations in Australia. That is why do not forget to fill your car with fuel on time in order not to run out of fuel at the most inappropriate moment.

Together with friends we traveled along the roads of the Netherlands. Since there were 7 of us, we rented a minivan for 7 seats and went to have fun. We rented the van via this resource and it was convenient for us, as all options were already included in the cost, and there was no need to pay extra charges. In general, the cost was ridiculous for 7 people. The site is simple, understandable and reliable.

I traveled on the roads of Holland. There were block-stone roads almost everywhere. It was amazing. I rented the Mercedes C-Class and was satisfied with the comfort of the car and the comfort of the roads. In general, the trip was useful and helped to have a good rest and look at the country by car, not the way it is shown to tourists. If you look for a comfortable car for an affordable rental price, then I recommend this site.

For a long time we\'ve been engaged in extreme driving. Recently we were in Saudi Arabia. We rode along the desert. It\'s especially beautiful at the end of the day. There were admiration and danger and a host of other things. We rented a car via bookingcar eu. It\'s a very useful site, because it compares all world providers and gives a full base of actual options. It is convenient that you can pay everything without fees directly on the site. There are excellent offers, which we always take.
