How to choose a car Model in Australia's self-driving Tou

Australia's vast area, continuous roads, and most of the scenery in remote areas make it a unique experience for you to travel on a self-driving trip in Australia. Before deciding to travel, choose to rent the right model, and the choice of the model depends on the travel plan.

Four-wheel drive vehicle (4WD)

The four-wheel-drive car is ideal for the sparsely populated interior because it is suitable for a variety of road conditions, and there are many scenic spots in Australia that are in poor condition and can only drive four-drive cars into the interior. But the disadvantages of the four-wheel drive are also obvious, because the fuel consumption is high and the price is high, so you must do your homework well in advance and understand the specific situation of your own driving route. If your plan does not have any scenic spots that must be reached by the four-wheel drive, Then there is no need to rent a four-drive.

Two-wheel drive vehicle (2WD)

Basically all three-compartment or two-box cars, station wagons belong to two-drive cars, for most of the journey, two-wheel-drive car is enough. Two-wheel-drive cars are cheaper to rent, buy or use than four-wheel-drive cars and are easier to find. Most two-wheel-drive vehicles are fuel-efficient, and mechanics are usually familiar with the structure of common two-wheel-drive vehicles, and spare parts are relatively cheap. At the same time, two-wheel drive vehicles can also be used on most of the dirt road (Unsealed Road), but the road conditions are not as wide as the four-wheel drive vehicles.

Camper (RV, Motorhome) is equipped with all the basic necessities, usually with sinks, refrigerators, lockers, beds, kitchens and infrastructure, where you can rest and relax during the trip. But the downside is that no matter where you go, take a short day trip, or just go to a bar for dinner, you have to drag on all your belongings, including the kitchen sink. Campers are slower than other vehicles and consume more fuel. Camping cars are usually two-drive cars, unable to drive on muddy roads, and not suitable for driving in the city. High-roofed campers are more difficult to drive when the wind is strong, and be careful even in the open (hatched campers are relatively easier to drive). And the external temperature will also have a greater impact on campers: hot weather cars like ovens, cold cars like cold storage. In addition, there is also a trailers that can be towed behind ordinary vehicles, (Travel Trailer), and campers. Unlike campers, trailers themselves have no power and are towed by ordinary vehicles, while facilities such as kitchens and beds are all in trailers, making them more flexible. You can drop the trailer after you get to the camp and drive your car to play. But since towing trailers require a local Australian driver's license, the (Full License), China driver's license cannot be opened, so it is not described in detail here.

Motorcycles are a unique form of travel and easy to avoid urban congestion. But Australia does not provide as much convenience for motorcycles as in Europe. Drivers, for example, are less aware of the avoidance of motorcycles, so cyclists must be vigilant and aware of this. At the same time, motorcycles allowed to carry a limited amount of luggage, and no shelter from the wind and rain and the sun facilities. Visitors to central and northern Australia are advised not to use motorcycles in summer because it will be very hot.
