QUOTE(treblecase @ Mar 21 2016, 05:26 PM) I know it can be stressful if it's your first time. But don't let the driving part ruin your holiday. Nowadays with modern tech, it's easier than ever. Just be aware of the speed limit & parking zones. You'll need a baby seat if your kid is still little. i'll need to readup on the parking zones... yeah, i'm including a baby seat in my reservation |

QUOTE(kenji1903 @ Mar 21 2016, 04:43 PM) those you mentioned covered, i'll search for the greek one try not too, especially long distance.. Was thinking of driving from Melb to Sydney at night, at least decided against it..i'm traveling with a kid so won't be driving at night but note taken, will decide whether to take up additional insurance when i'm there otherwise, it's same as driving in malaysia so nothing too challenging. Get a good powerbank / in car charger, load up Waze and you won't get lost. The only thing is parking, we had a friend so he showed us some cheaper parking spots in the city, others can be expensive. |

The only reason to get a car rental GPS is if you are going to areas where there may be no or poor telco coverage.wife is insisting on going to the car rental's GPS I drove from Perth to Mandurah and still managed to get data signal to use Waze.
