Long Distance Driving Advice for Car Rental in Victoria & Australia
If your travel plans are taking you in and around Victoria and perhaps even further interstate then here are a few tips which will make driving easier. If you intend doing a lot of freeway driving on your travels then selecting a rental car with cruise control will make a big difference to how you leg feels at the end of the day. 4-6 hour driving stretches tend to make the right leg sore without cruise control. Cruise control eliminates leg pain and also lessens the risk of speed camera/radar fines which are everywhere now. Taking a break every 2 hours is sensible also, and will make driving easier if you have a rental car without cruise control. Dehydration can make you drowsy when driving so take plenty of water to drink for the trip. We supply free road maps for all of Victoria. If you are travelling interstate rent a GPS unit to make finding your travel destination easier. GPS's (Sat Nav's) are good value and you won't get lost. If you intend driving in and around Melbourne then a GPS is a very good idea. Night driving in regional areas of Australia can be problematic with Kangaroo's. If you can avoid travelling at night then do. This will lessen the risk of accidents and you will get to enjoy the over night stay at a location of your choice and be fresh and relaxed to drive the next day.
