Drivers must produce a full, current driving licence held for a minimum of one year, if not in English then an accurate English translation and an International Drivers’ Permit are also required. For new style 2 part UK licences both the photocard and paper counterpart are required, but an older paper licence is sufficient with a form of photo identification such as a passport. Where the following prices are quoted in AU$ they are payable locally and subject to Goods & Services Tax (GST currently 10%) unless indicated otherwise.
