Before, during, and after your rental
What to bring
A valid driver's license from your home country is required. If your license is not in English, carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside it. Visitors from the US can drive in Queensland with a valid US license for the duration of their stay.
On the road
Australia drives on the left side of the road. Speed limits are posted in km/h — typical urban limits are 50 km/h, and highways range from 100 to 110 km/h. Some toll roads operate in the Gold Coast and Brisbane corridor, and SIXT manages toll charges through a partner service for your convenience.
Use the SIXT App for mobile check-in, digital contract signing, and to manage your booking on the go.
Returning your vehicle
Drop off your car at the Gold Coast Airport SIXT counter. Check your fuel policy at booking — prepay fuel for convenience or return the tank full to avoid refueling charges. Out-of-hours returns are available for added flexibility.
