Well we haven’t had any accident or medical situation before (thank god) – but travel insurance is usually covered in the rental agreement, at least in official rental companies.

I heard alot about driving in AUS and the kangaroos hopping out in front you, especially at night. Not cool.

Has travel insurance been part of the rental agreement, or do you depend on your own in case you have an accident or a medical situation?

Love this article, so original! Just came back from a roadtrip in Australia and you forgot to mention how slowww people drive. They hardly ever make it to the speed limits..

Great post Nellie. Like you, I enjoy the thrill of driving in new countries. We hired a car in Syria last year and I loved the fact that there were no rules (that I could make out). You just take car of what's in front of you, and everyone else does the same. And use the horn. A lot. It seems to work, although adjusting to UK driving again took some time.
It was especially fun in the north of the country when we strayed off the main roads and the signs were Arabic only. My wife can read a bit of Arabic, but I had to drive very slowly past the signs to give her a fighting chance of making sense of them before they were behind us. We also met some wonderful characters and picked up friendly Syrian hitch-hikers. A good way to experience a country at close quarters.
