    I'll be renting in Sydney later this week. Thanks for sharing the video. I have rented in Japan, Guam and USA before. All were great. I had some minor issues everywhere, some places due to translation some places due to their own traffic laws. But I like the point about cherishing memories in hindsight. Thanks Saket & Ritika

    Thanks a lot Saket & Ritika for sharing these important tips and information, in a manner that was easy and enjoyable to consume. A humble suggestion, would be great if you could also share recommendations for car rental companies, which will be helpful since you would hav tried and tested the service.
    Thanks being said, thanks and wish you pleasant & memorable journeys along the festival called life. Cheers!

      Hey thank you so much😊😊
      So generally we always stick to more reputed companies for renting a car.
      Companies like Avis, hertz and budget are always dependable everywhere in the world.
      Also you can check out booking.com to make rental bookings because they have affiliations with all these companies and you can get the best deals there too.
      For Australia we booked through booking.com that led us to Avis.
      Hope that helps , and thank you once again for your sweet words 😊😊

    Awesome video mate! You made me comfortable to drive in Australia (soon). Not sure, but Victoria demands an IDP. Also, why did you have to drive back? You could've taken different-city-drop option

    • @AFestivalCalledLife
      @AFestivalCalledLife  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you!!
      So it’s always better to have IDP just to be safe.
      Yes we could’ve taken a different city drop option but we had to fly back from Melbourne only so drove back (although in hindsight it would’ve been so much better if we took the different city drop option)

    Informative one!
    We've drove in Mauritius, Singapore and Bali and certainly, the experience of having your own vehicle at your disposal in a new country is unparalleled.
    How much did the car cost you for 15 days renting?

    • @AFestivalCalledLife
      @AFestivalCalledLife  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh wow nice , seriously it’s the best feeling specially if you enjoy driving..
      So for this car we paid approx 80,000 rs for 15 days..could have gotten much cheaper cars but we were 6 people with all our luggage so wanted a big 8 seater vehicle.

    Hi ! Can u pls give us the operator details with whom u booked the car ? Also are you very sure tat IDP isn’t required in Australia ? Coz a local tour operator here said we need to have IDP-international driving permit and an Indian driving license in English will not suffice..pls note..we plan to rent a car in Melbourne and drop it bk in Melbourne itself..looking to rent for 4 days..

    • @AFestivalCalledLife
      @AFestivalCalledLife  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi , so we booked this car via booking.com through their car rental options.
      And yes I am confident that you do not need an international driving permit to drive in Australia.
      I did a lot of research on this topic myself before going and also made an international driving permit just in case.
      But when I was there I didn’t need to show it all anywhere.
      We picked the car only on our booking voucher , credit card details and Indian driving license

    Is the fines very stringent and hefty there?

    • @AFestivalCalledLife
      @AFestivalCalledLife  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Heavy fines - I broke a red traffic light in Sydney unknowingly of course and got a fine in mail after coming back home to India.
      The fine for breaking a red light was 514 Australian dollars or approx 29,000 inr.
      Have even saved the fine letter as a souvenir now 😂😂
