In Australia, traffic flows on the left side of the road with the steering wheel positioned on the right side of the vehicle, which may require adjustment for international visitors. Queensland requires all occupants to wear seatbelts, and mobile phone use while driving is strictly prohibited unless using hands-free technology. Speed limits are clearly posted throughout the Sunshine Coast region, and you'll find roundabouts are common at intersections rather than traditional traffic lights in many areas.

Several petrol stations operate along the main roads leading from Sunshine Coast Airport towards Maroochydore and the broader Queensland coast, ensuring convenient fuel access for your hired car.

Major service stations near the airport provide both traditional petrol and modern charging facilities to accommodate all vehicle types.

The Sunshine Coast region in Queensland operates without toll roads, allowing you to explore the area from Maroochydore to Noosa Heads without additional charges for road usage. This makes budgeting for your Australia trip more straightforward, as you won't encounter unexpected toll fees while driving your rental car around the coast. The absence of tolls encourages exploration of the entire Sunshine Coast region, from the airport to the furthest coastal destinations.
