Top tips for renting a van in Brisbane
Wondering what tips you need to know when hiring a van in Brissy? Brisbane's roads offer some fantastic opportunities for exploring, but it's essential to know the local road rules and conditions for a smooth journey.
Brisbane road rules and driving conditions:
Keep in mind that in Australia, you'll need to drive on the left side of the road. Speed limits vary, so be sure to check the posted signs, especially in residential areas and around schools.
Driving a van for the first time:
If you're new to driving a van, don't fret; it's a breeze with these few tips. Firstly, parking can be a bit different, so keep an eye on the height of your vehicle when entering car parks or passing under bridges. When turning and manoeuvring, give yourself extra space to accommodate the van's size. If you're carrying heavy loads, distribute the weight evenly and secure your items to prevent shifting during transit. And remember, vans often have larger blind spots, so double-check your mirrors and use caution when changing lanes or merging onto highways.
Toll roads in Brisbane:
You may encounter toll roads while driving in Brisbane. The major toll roads to remember include the Gateway Motorway, Logan Motorway, Legacy Way, Clem Jones Tunnel (CLEM7), Airport Link M7, and Go Between Bridge. These roads can make your journey more convenient, but remember that they may have associated fees. Make sure to check the toll costs and payment options in advance to avoid any surprises.
Van parking in Brisbane
The city offers various parking options, but be aware of your van's height to avoid height-restricted areas. In popular spots like the CBD or South Bank, look for parking facilities that can accommodate larger vehicles. Planning ahead and knowing where to park safely will ensure a hassle-free experience during your Brisbane adventure.
Petrol stations and EV chargers in Brisbane:
Brisbane provides plenty of petrol stations to keep your van fuelled for your journey. Keep an eye out for petrol stations that can accommodate larger vehicles if you're driving a sizeable van. And if you're driving an electric van, you'll find EV charging points conveniently throughout the city.
