Driving in Queensland

Major car rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, Budget, and Europcar operate in Queensland. Typical daily rental costs range from AUD 50 to 100, with weekly rates offering discounts. Drivers must hold a valid driver’s license; international visitors should carry an International Driving Permit if their license is not in English. The minimum age to rent is usually 21, with additional fees for drivers under 25. Roads are generally well-maintained, but some remote areas have unsealed roads requiring cautious driving. Parking in cities like Brisbane and Gold Coast can be limited and costly; use designated parking areas.
