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.

The options that you are offered and the options that you find by yourself are always different. Recently I've been looking for options to go on vacation. I've decided to go to the agency (I've had no time at all). But when they've offered to reserve a car that would cost as a third part of that car for a week, I've been shocked. I've gone to the popular site and not only found, but also rented the required car at the ridiculous price.

We traveled very often, but because of the price increase we began to save money. Recently we tried to travel by a rented car on the advice of our good friends. It turned out to be more interesting and cheap. We saw many wonderful places. We looked for a car on this site and were worried that we managed to do it. Upon the arrival we got a rented car without any problems. We turned it also without difficulties. We are satisfied.

I have been using car aggregators for many years already, I've tried many of them, and this site has turned out to be the most accurate. It allows you to search for the best offers from the providers. Any problems either in the process of registration, rental payment or receipt of a car from the agent haven't occured. I recommend it.

We went fishing to popular Sevan. For the sake of convinience, we reserved a car and paid for it via the car aggregator. By the way, it was very cheap. There weren't problems with the receipt of the car at the destination place, although the agent tried to impose a paid insurance, but he yielded after learning that we had paid for it.

I have been using this aggregator for a long time when searching for a car to travel around different countries. I know that the sample of options is always the largest, and there is no fees. I've compared it with the prices at the destination place for many times. In general, it helps to do everything in advance in a couple of minutes.
