You'll need a valid driver's license (from your home country or an international driving permit), a passport, and a valid visa.

2. Can I rent a car with a foreign driver's license?

Yes, many of our clients are living in these areas, and the rental agreements allow travel within Queensland and into Northern New South Wales. Ensure you inform the rental company of your travel plans to confirm coverage.

Yes, over six months, we can offer discounted rates for long-term rentals, ideal for international students staying for a semester or more.
