· Forbidden Parking
Cars are not allowed to be parked on the following spots as doing so can result in a fine:
- On the footpath or nature strip as these places are for people.
- On a yellow line.
- In a way that blocks other cars from entering or exiting the driveway. In an emergency, the car may be towed away.
- Less than10 metres (approximately 2 large car lengths) from an intersection so that other cars can safely pass without causing danger.
- In a place that has been marked with ‘No Stopping’ or ‘No Standing’. A ‘No Standing’ sign indicates motorist may not park a car unless they remain in the vehicle and for no more than three minutes.
· Parking Signs
Parking signs in Australia may specify multiple times, places, durations, restrictions and vehicle categories in a condensed form on a single sign. Letter P signs are 'permissive' parking signs where parking is permitted for the time specified. A guide to the most common parking signs is below:
- '1/2P', '1P', '3P': Vehicles can be parked here for half an hour, one hour, or three hours.
- '630AM-730 PM Mon-Fri': Vehicles may be parked here only at the specified times - in this case, between 06:30 and 19:30 from Monday to Friday.
- 'P'(no number): Permissive parking zone
- '15 minute', '20 minute', '45 minute': Vehicles may be parked here only for the specified number of minutes
· Paid Parking
There are municipal parking garages and lots, metered parking alongside the road and ticket machine parking in most towns and cities.

The car was generally well presented. I did however find some damage to the front bumper that had been sprayed over but washed off. In fairness I mentioned this and they accepted it and promised to repair it properly

They didn’t take clear car photos and set me in trap to at a wind screen chip but it was present when we received the car. They charged me $1000 deposit and didn’t refund it to me yet after I show them the clear pics when we received the car. I am still wait for deposit refund. Very Frustrating.

We got an upgrade to a good diesel 4x4 which was good. The counter staff member (pretty sure it was Denise) was great. The car was pretty dirty but they had some issues with getting cars delivered in time so the staff were managing everyone really well.

The office installations where very poorly looking, walls peeling off, etc. The staff wasn't very friendly and the person who process my documents took pictures of my credit card front and back, which I found very doggy as the security code is on it, when asking, he said it was for their own security, which I completely disagree, but he didn't give me other option.

There was some confusion on my pick up point as they were under the thought my flight was a domestic one, but they contacted me, rearranged pick up, and gave me easy, specific directions on where to meet the driver.
