Available payment options

For seamless payment of your booking, we accept a range of credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, and American Express.

Speed limits in Australia

Australia imposes variable speed limits while driving, tailored to ensure safety and efficiency on its roads. Understanding these limits is crucial for both local and foreign drivers.

In urban areas, the default speed limit is generally 50 km/h, unless otherwise signed. For school zones, during certain hours, the limit is reduced to enhance safety around these premises.

Highways and freeways see higher limits to facilitate longer-distance travel. Here, limits typically range from 100 km/h to 110 km/h, with clear signage indicating the specific limit applicable.

It's essential to observe these limits precisely, as exceeding them can result in hefty fines and demerit points. Moreover, in certain areas, especially those prone to wildlife crossing or near pedestrian zones, drivers might encounter lower limits than expected. Always stay vigilant for signage indicating speed adjustments.

Traffic violation fines

In Australia, traffic violation fines are a significant element of road safety enforcement, ensuring that drivers adhere to the rules of the road. Violation fines vary between states and territories, but they are typically structured to penalize infractions like speeding, running red lights, and negligent driving.

Note: It's crucial for drivers to familiarize themselves with the specific traffic laws and penalties within their state or territory to avoid fines and contribute to road safety.

Prices for petrol/diesel in Australia

In Australia, petrol and diesel prices fluctuate due to various factors such as crude oil prices, exchange rates, and taxes. Recently, average prices have been:

It's important to note that prices can vary significantly across different states and territories. For current prices, motorists are encouraged to use fuel price comparison apps.

Toll highways

Australia is renowned for its expansive network of well-maintained highways and toll roads, facilitating efficient travel across this vast country. Major cities and regional areas are interconnected by these routes, enabling economic growth and accessibility.

Toll roads employ modern technology for seamless travel, including electronic toll collection. This system ensures the country’s transportation network remains among the world’s best, promoting economic development and connectivity.

Car return in other city

For car rentals from Australia that you intend to return elsewhere, check the "return to another place" box for appropriate selections. The resulting listings will show only those companies that provide this service, with the pricing including the one-way fare.

Is it possible to travel outside the country in which I have rented a car?

When renting a car in Australia with intentions of crossing international borders, it's essential to be well-informed. Firstly, understand that Australia is an island continent, making international border crossings by car impossible. However, for those planning to drive to nearby countries, such as New Zealand, this requires significant logistical planning including international freight shipping.

It's critical to plan meticulously and always seek advice from your rental company about their policy on international travel.

Additional fees and taxes

To give you peace of mind with no hidden costs, cars-scanner offers car rental services with transparent, all-inclusive pricing. You'll see the final price upfront. However, in certain countries, there may be additional fees like licence costs, contract charges, or state taxes. Such fees will be detailed by the rental company. For more details, please refer to the Fees Section:

Remember, at the time of reservation, you can select extra paid options like GPS, which will be payable later at the rental company.

Conditions for cancellation/modification of booking

No need to worry if your trip's circumstances have shifted and the car you booked is no longer required.

Contact us at least 24 hours before your rental is scheduled to begin, and we'll rearrange your booking without any additional fees.

A cancellation made less than 24 hours in advance will result in a charge of 50 EUR, but we'll return the remaining amount to your account.

It's important to pay close attention to the cancellation policies for cars offered in deals and special promotions, as their terms may vary.
