Where are you going specifically?
How long will it be?

For some states like NSW (Sydney), you can use Malaysian license, I used it for 4 years, (only came back this year)

Other states should be fine if its less than 60 days, check with the company you're renting with, they would specify the things required

Please read the rule book of the state you're going, Melbourne traffic crossing is particular, Sydney is just hectic, Perth not too bad,

If you're going to the Syd/Melb, its better to take public, parking and traffic is a bane overthere, police like to give out summons like nobody business. Uber/Ola would be your best friend, (Sydney buses are opposite of Malaysian, always on time but slow as f*ck)

If you're taking a kid, please rent a child seat as well, and just pay for the most expensive insurance, it'll be less of a hassle if anything happens, trust me. Make sure if you're driving through tolls, rent a "tag" or else they put on service charge

If you're going to Syd area, go to hunter valley, about 1/2 hrs away (like everything interesting in SYD), there's lots of wineries.

Just be wary of cab drivers, they drive like where they came from . In the city, drive cautiously, speed camera everywhere, the rental will charge you a service charge if you are fined.

One more thing, if I recalled correctly, Australia shut-down inbound flights for 6 months, starting march I think

Nope, went to RMS NSW annually to renew my Rego, and everytime I went there would ask if I needed to take an aussie license. They never said I needed it

Though if I needed it, since I have a full license + held it for 6 years, only need to take a comp + driving test.

Surprisingly their driving tests is much easier than ours, especially side parking

Never looked into the mirrors before changing lane - I think everywhere is the same, especially ones that drives SUVs

never indicate when turning or changing lane - audi/bmw usually don't give until last min

dont know give way rules - They don't even stop if it's in the suburb

never stop at stop signs (always rolling stop) - This one is important, lots of my friends kena

never follow speed limit - This too, if there's no sign indicating the speedlimit, general rule would be 50, but sometimes extra cautious green p platers drives dang seloww

Can, lemme find one under my name, Found one



Old one though

Iirc got one malaysian girl no license but registered the car under her name, maybe using NSW photo id?
