An Australian self-drive holiday is all about the freedom to decide where and when you want to go and how you will get there

A self-drive vacation is one of the best options to see Australia on your own terms. Driving in Australia is a great pleasure with the opportunity to explore wide-open spaces and wonderful natural landscape. There are many destinations in the land down under that are best experienced by car.
 
With eight major gateway cities to choose from, it is possible to arrive at one city, embark on a self-drive tour and leave via another city. With inter-city rentals, you can get maximum mileage from your trip.
 
Self-drive is simple and convenient and Australia has some of the best road trip itineraries in the world. It helps that Australians use the metric system so speed limits are defined in kilometres per hour and distances are measured in metres and kilometres.
 
A big advantage is the left hand drive system similar to Singapore so you are ready to hit the road when you land with very little orientation adjustment to be made. You can purchase a self-drive package from an agent or simply plan your own route and hire a car. To get the most of your Australian driving experience, it helps to be well prepared.

Driving safely
When driving in Australia, make sure you wear comfortable shoes and clothing and a pair of good sunglasses. Carry enough water to drink to last the long road journeys. Take turns swapping driving duties with your co-driver. If you’re going solo, it is advisable to take a break every two to three hours for a breath of fresh air and give your legs a chance to stretch.
