Two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Miners Rest?
In Miners Rest and across Australia, motorists drive on the left side of the road.

Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
