Top tips for hiring a car in Queensland
- When you are looking to pick up and finalise your car hire in Queensland, it might be necessary for you to show a number of documents to complete your purchase. Documents will usually differ depending on the specific rental company that you choose to hire a car with. Documents appropriate to complete your car rental in Queensland will usually include a full UK driving licence or an Australian green plate p licence, as well as proof of legitimate identification such as a passport that’s valid throughout the duration of your stay. Some companies might also request proof of a paper licence too.
- Queensland, Australia, is very particular about its drink and drive limits and this must be considered for all drivers who seek to rent a car when they are planning to explore Queensland. If you are planning to consume alcohol and drive, then you’ll find that you can’t have a blood alcohol content (BAC) above 0.05% per 100ml of blood. This allowance is stricter than most countries. A 0.05% blood alcohol content usually is the equivalent of consuming two standard alcoholic drinks.
- Some applicable car rental companies will usually request that the fuel tank must be matched on return from when you drive your car hire out of the pick-up destination. Make sure to check what kind of fuel that your car hire uses, rather than making the vital mistake of mixing them. Those travelling to Queensland will commonly find that fuel is usually more expensive than most common foreign countries. Unleaded petrol commonly averages at $1.40 (£0.75) in price for one litre in fuel, whereas diesel is more expensive in price with an average of $1.55 (£0.85) per litre.
