Road signs in Australia
In Australia, road signs are generally in English. Signage is clear and uncluttered, making navigation relatively easy.
Busy days in Australia
The busiest periods on Australian roads are during school holidays and around public holidays. Especially in the summer months of December and January, when many locals go on holiday, it can be busier on the roads.
Paying tolls in Australia
There are several toll roads in Australia, mainly in and around major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Toll trips are recorded by the license plate system. Costs are calculated per toll station. Therefore, always check the specific conditions of your booked rental car.
Refuelling in Australia
Refuelling in Australia is fairly straightforward. The procedure is similar to that in the Netherlands. Pay attention to the opening hours of petrol stations, especially in remote areas they may close early or may not be open 24/7.
Crossing the border in Australia
From Australia, you cannot travel directly by car to a neighbouring country because of its geographical location. If you do have plans to travel with your rental car to another country, such as Kangaroo Island or Bribie Island, it is necessary to request this in advance when booking your Sunny Car. There may be specific conditions and costs involved.
Destinations in Australia
Yes, you need a credit card to car rental in Australia. The car hire company uses the credit card as a deposit for any damage to the car. Before booking, check whether the main driver of the rental car has a credit card. Also, make sure you have the physical credit card with you and know the PIN. Moreover, keep enough spending space free on your credit card for the deposit.

Australia is a veritable playground for adventurers. With its breathtaking coastlines, bustling cities and rugged outback, it offers something for everyone. Whether you're surfing the waves at Bondi Beach, admiring the sunset at Uluru or spotting kangaroos on Kangaroo Island, the diversity offers something for everyone.
Australia's roads are generally modern and well-maintained, especially in urban areas and along major highways. In remote or rural areas, however, roads can be unpaved and narrow.
In Australia, distances are long and the landscape can be mountainous. A car with a larger engine or an SUV is recommended for comfort, especially in mountainous areas.
The best time to visit Australia depends on the region, but generally spring (September - November) and autumn (March - May) are pleasant in terms of temperatures and less crowded.
Australia is known for its barbecue culture and fresh seafood. Try a traditional Aussie BBQ or enjoy fresh barramundi. Don't forget to try Bundaberg's Lemon Lime and Bitters.
