Thank you! That was very helpful.
Glad it helped 😊
Great video! Thanks!
Must say a very informative video ! Must watch for all who plan to hire a car to drive around in Australia..Cheers !
Thank you , glad it helps 😊😊
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
Have a lovely trip 😊😊
Great video mate. Thanks for the efforts!
Thank you 😊
thanks for making this video!
Glad it helps😊
enjoyed the video
Thank you
Lovely video.
Awesome video..
Thank you
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
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)
Your video shows you gone through red trffic lights in Melbourne at least 2 times and not surprised by this
I know which ones you’re saying 👍🏻😂
@@AFestivalCalledLife We are not surprised you drove throught red lights, most people from your country are well known for disregarding traffic rules in Australia most of the time.
Great Video friend. I will be travelling to Aus this december for NYE. I am renting a car from Mel and driving it down to Sydney. I have done this before but not driven to Sydney. You comments are very informative and helpful.. I look to implement those in my trip... My next Road trip is IN US in July, Croos country... NYC to SFO.... Let me know if you any inputs on those...
Thank you , have a lovely trip👍🏻👍🏻
Yes we are planning on doing a fall winter road trip next year in the USA , will surely text you here for inputs 😊
Great video
Very informative ❤
Thank you 😊😊
Thanks for this video.
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?
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..
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?
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 😂😂
@@AFestivalCalledLife I can understand this situation. I pray that I don’t get to pay much if at all fined.
@@abhivast yes let’s hope for the best 👍🏻😊
I am bit scared as I have braked but has overshoot the pedestrian line
In which city was this?
@@AFestivalCalledLife melbourne
@@abhivast so Sydney is the strictest with driving fines and rules , you may still be fine in Melbourne ..let’s hope for the best 👍🏻🥳
@@AFestivalCalledLife got you, driving in Melbourne was confusing for me at few locations. Anyways, will update you if and when fine comes
@@abhivast yes please do..
Totally get you Melbourne is so confusing to drive in specially the whole cbd area with trams and intersections.
Do keep us posted 😊
in AWW
30k for one rule. wow
Exactly how I felt !!
It feels brutal to finish an entire trip thinking it’s all done and then one month later you receive an envelope in the courier 🙈😂
