Drive and enjoy Brisbane with your rental car
Although Sydney and Melbourne are usually the best known, Brisbane is not far behind. Whether you’re going sightseeing or studying for a while, we’re sure Brisbane can be the city you love.
Brisbane is the capital of the state of Queensland, and its citizens enjoy, on average, almost 300 days a year of sunshine. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Its winters are quite warm compared to many other cities, and summers are quite hot.
Brisbane is a cosmopolitan, quiet city, and although it doesn’t have a beach, you can find the first beaches within an hour or so of the center. We recommend Wellington Point or Manly Beach, a 40-minute drive away. We recommend you rent a car or van to make the most of all the sightseeing Brisbane has to offer.
Brisbane is the third most populated city in Australia and is one of the youngest, as it grows year after year. For that reason, its buildings, especially those in the city center, are quite new, and also very well cared for by everyone.
Brisbane Airport is located in the northeast of the city. The driving distance between Brisbane and Brisbane Airport (BNE) is 14 km (12 mins).
When driving in Australia, please note that traffic rules and laws differ from state to state. As a general rule, you can drive with your basic license for a maximum period of 3 months but it is advisable to inquire about the particularities in each state.
