There are six major car rental companies in Australia: Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Thrifty and Redspot. There are car rental outlets in major towns, so it is very convenient to pick up and change cars in different places. In addition, Australia's car rental and self-driving costs are not high, and highways are basically free, making it a very suitable country for car rental and road travel. Every year, a large number of China tourists rent cars from official website (www.zuzuche.com) to explore sparsely populated Australia.

Please take good care of all contracts and documents;
When signing a contract, the counter staff may promote other insurance or fee-based services, and may decide whether to buy them according to their personal needs. If necessary, you can call the car rental customer service phone for help. If the counter staff says that you have to buy some insurance or service to get the car, please ask him to write down the reasons and sign the contract, and the car rental customer service can further appeal for you.
If there are extra drivers, you must show relevant information and register them in the store, otherwise the extra drivers will have an accident and the insurance will be invalid. Generally, when we arrive at the car return shop, the staff will inspect the car on the spot, make records and print out the statement. Check carefully whether there are any extra charges.
