Hire Car Brisbane Tips, Experiences & Comparison

Discover Brisbane by Hire Car

Brisbane is located in the far east of the Australian continent and is the capital of the state of Queensland.

Although the city has a very short history (it was only founded as a penal colony in 1824) it has become more and more of a tourist magnet in its own right over the last few decades.

Leisure activities in Brisbane

Numerous cultural institutions have taken up residence in Brisbane, making the city definitely worth a visit. Numerous museums, theatres and a boisterous nightlife are what make Brisbane interesting for tourists.

Brisbane is developing more and more into a party metropolis like no other. But also the variety of cultural events of Brisbane is very large. It can be read well on the website of the city.

Discovering the Brisbane Countryside

The majority of tourists use Brisbane as a starting point for trips to the tourist paradises “Sunshine Coast” and “Gold Coast” which start south of the city.

The best way to reach these tourist areas is by hire car, as this makes you independent of public transport and you can explore the whole coast on your own.

The attractions of this beautiful coast are scattered over a length of almost 300 km and not all of them are centrally located – so if you really want to see something you are inevitably dependent on a hire car.

Even in the summer, however, you should make sure when renting a car that it has air conditioning, because in this area of Australia, the summer weather is usually extremely hot.
