Hiring a car on Australia’s Sunshine Coast is a perfect way to explore this beautiful coastline at your own pace, with the freedom to discover hidden gems off the beaten track which may often be inaccessible by public transport or involve lengthy waits. Choose from a sporty SUV, an open-air convertible or a 4x4 to cruise along the 15 miles of pristine beaches and coastline that this area north of Brisbane is famous for, especially for surfing, or discover the natural landscapes of the Noosa National Park. You can also drop by the city of Maroochydore which makes an excellent base for setting off on your journey with its quaint harbour and regional beaches.
The Sunshine Coast is noted for its scenic drives and breathtaking views, both along the coast and up in the mountains, making for a relaxing driving experience. The roads are well-maintained and connected and you can take the Tourist Drive 24 route off from the main Bruce Highway for a scenic route through the Glass House Mountains which is around a half-hour drive. The Sunshine Motorway will connect you to sleepy beach communities and the Marcoola Coastline for another scenic route which runs for around an hour’s drive. You also have the Blackall Range Hinterland Drive which will take you through quiet mountain villages and natural landscapes. Driving in Australia is undertaken on the left-hand side of the road. Be aware of wildlife in nature reserves when driving as you may find wildlife or livestock wander on to unfenced roads.
The minimum age to rent a vehicle is 21 years of age in Australia and all drivers must hold a full driving licence. An International Driving Permit will be a necessity for UK drivers which can be obtained from the local licencing authority in the United Kingdom for a small fee and you should have held your driving licence for at least a year. You may be subject to a surcharge and face restrictions on hiring certain vehicle categories if you are under 25 years of age.
