Local expert tips for hiring a car in Mount Isa
Watch out for wildlife
Australia’s wildlife is one of its greatest attractions, but if, after you’ve picked up your hire car in Mount Isa, you’re out in the countryside, please remember you’re on their turf and be extra-aware when driving.
Choose the right vehicle
If you’re planning on hiring a car in Mt Isa and using it as a base for some countryside trips, then a rental 4WD is perhaps a more prudent choice than a conventional rental car such as a SUV, sedan or hatchback.
Yes, that’s a train on the road
Queensland is home to some of the longest trucks in the world, some of which can be as long as 60 metres in length, and they’ve well and truly earned their nickname of “road trains.” When overtaking, bear in mind that overtaking a road train will take longer than a regular truck.
Click clack front and back
In Queensland, the driver of a hire car and all passengers seven years and older must wear a seatbelt. It is the driver’s responsibility to make sure all passengers are wearing their seatbelts. Children under the age of seven must be in a properly fastened Australian Standard-approved child restraint.
