The Gold Coast is a city in Queensland, Australia. Car hire on the Gold Coast will need a copy of your passport and driver’s licence. If your driver's licence is not written in English, you will need an official translation of the licence from the embassy of your country or you will need an International Driver's Permit. You will not be allowed to drive hire cars on the Gold Coast without being at least 19 years old, and you must have had your driver's licence for a minimum of one year. All customers under the age of 25 will likely have to pay additional liability fees, due to their young age.
When driving a hired car on the Gold Coast, Australia, you will need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. All vehicles must obey the speed limit, which is 100 km/h (62 mph) on the highways, 60 km/h (37 mph) in city districts and 40-50 km/h (25-31 mph) near schools and residential areas. It is illegal to drive under the influence in this country, and anyone who disobeys this law could be heavily fined or even end up in jail. It is important to not drink and drive, especially when you are in a foreign country; so if you are going out, it may be best to book a taxi or Uber to get you there. Consult with the Gold Coast's motor vehicle authorities to see if there are any recent rule changes.
The best car for you would be dependent on your intended travel. If you would like to hire a car on the Gold Coast but only want to use it to get around the town, then it would be good to hire an economy class car, which will be better for city purposes. If you are looking to drive along the coastal route, then an economy class might work, but you may need a better car that can endure the heat of Australian roadways and the length of travel between towns in the region without overheating the engine. It would be a good idea to hire a car with air conditioning because Australia can be very hot during the day.
Usually when someone hires a car, it means that they will have accommodation planned, such as a hotel or a house. In these cases, you should have parking space on the property available for you to park your car. If this isn't the case, then you may also park your car on the streets outside your accommodation, as Australia has a very low crime rate.
