Joyriding is one of the great Aussie pastimes. Many people look to rent a nice car to experience the outback backdrop or the ocean scenery. If you’re looking to rent a car, here’s all the important things you need to consider.

Before renting a car near you, consider your budget, needs and requirements. This may be related to safety, security, environment or fuel efficiency.
If you’re travelling in a country with different traffic laws, take some time to understand and adjust to these new regulations before taking on the road.
Inspect the car in full daylight. Look for visible damage to the exterior of the car, check if the electronics, air con and windows work.
Ask questions about the vehicle’s history. What’s the mileage? How long has it been in service? What features does it have?
Only sign the deal off with the car rental company when you are happy with the car and its price.
