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.

Me and my friends organized a car run around the countries of the Western Europe. We enjoyed the roads and everything new that we saw. Everyone rented what he wanted. And each of us was satisfied, as we didn't overpay. We searched for cars to rent via the Internet. We found cars and paid for them via this site and eventually we received all the necessary package included in the price. It's a very good approach, because you don't have to pay separately for each service.

At the airport we got our car without any difficulties and problems. We spent time with great mood. All options were included and no additional payment was required. We like this site very much.

Car rental is suitable only for experienced drivers, as not everyone can drive in Rome. Nonetheless I\'ve decided to visit this ancient city by car. By the way, it is very interesting and unusual. It is easy to see the city from unconventional angles, inaccessible to tourists. I\'ve rented a car via bookingcar.eu. I\'ve liked the fact that the base cost\'s included insurance and other options that are necessary in a city with intensive traffic and a peculiar driving style.

I used the services of a wide variety of car rental sites, and also rented a car at the destination place for many times. For some time past I use only this resource. For me, the advantages are obvious. It's easy rent and possibility to pay immediately via the site. By the way, you can forget about the situation when there is no suitable car for you, as it's often happened when renting a car at the destination place. I constantly recommend it to my friends.
