The homeland of the kangaroo, Australia, no matter how much we love it and its marsupial inhabitants, this wonderful continent can hardly be attributed to the number of countries where it is easy to get a visa. The procedure for submitting documents for obtaining the coveted insertion into a passport is very bureaucratic.
You will also need notary certification of all translated papers, and the translation itself must be performed by an accredited translator. In addition, you will have to thoroughly confirm your financial viability.
The visa fee in the amount of 4200 rubles is a tangible amount even for a financially wealthy person, while there is no guarantee of an unambiguous receipt of a visa. But all this is partly offset by electronic visa confirmation, which means that you will not have to come to the embassy again.
Features of car rental
But, having reached the cherished continent, you may immediately be puzzled by the search for a car rental. Well, do not transport your "swallow" across the ocean! Better yet, while you are just going to Australia, book a suitable car on the rental site, and you can even have time to find a very profitable rental. And you will immediately have unlimited opportunities to explore new horizons. You will be able to visit exactly those sights that you have seen many times in the pictures, but have always wanted to visit them.
While admiring the local attractions from the window of your rental car, don't forget about the speed limit. Here they are valid for most of the drivers who come here from all over the world. In Australia, on the territory of settlements, the limit of 50 km / h cannot be exceeded, but on country roads the maximum speed is higher - 90 km / h.
Prices
Car rental in Australia is associated with the use of 95th or 98th unleaded gasoline. Diesel fuel is also used here. All this is available at local gas stations, while leaded gasoline and gas stations are not found in the country. 1 liter of unleaded petrol will cost 1.37 euros, and diesel - 1.32 euros.
The green continent is experiencing an active population growth. For our time this is surprising, but for a person from Russia it is also surprising that the number of cars is increasing along with demographic growth. Apparently, the leadership in the birth of children is observed here among wealthy people. But as a result of this rise, the number of free parking spaces has been significantly reduced. And the biggest problem with this is in the central areas of big cities. Accordingly, the prices for parking, and on the territory of the entire mainland, are kept at a high level.
On weekdays, parking in the city center is only paid. After 19:00, parking fees are canceled on many streets. The same rule applies on weekends - you can park freely.
