If you are visiting Brisbane, the best way to see and do as much possible is to hire a car from Five Star Car Rentals.

Whilst we know you want to pack as much into your holiday as possible, the team at Five Star Car Rentals want to stress the importance of staying safe with a few tips to stay alert when driving.

When hiring a car in Brisbane you might feel tempted to cram as much as possible into your day; our advice is to plan ahead.

Hints and Tips to Keep You Alert Whilst Driving

Many Australians are used to driving long distances as we have a large land mass to get around, but many overseas tourists might underestimate the distances from place-to-place, so we advise that you do your research on where you want to go so you don’t commit to an epic road trip when all you really wanted to do is see local sights.

If you’re yawning, stop, revive, and survive. Always take a moment to refresh yourself and wake yourself up if you are feeling a little tired when you are driving; a short rest can help wake the body and mind and prevent you slipping into a microsleep whilst driving.

If you are driving around Brisbane the traffic can be a little exhausting, so make sure you take regular breaks if you are finding your concentration lacking.

Ensuring the kids are safe and properly strapped in is important, and with our range of children’s car seats for hire, you can ensure that your full attention can stay on the road.

A great way to maintain your concentration whilst driving it to listen to some music, or your favourite podcast. When you hire a car from Five Star Car Rentals in Brisbane our vehicles are all equipped with Apple Carplay/Android Auto, Bluetooth, and USB.

Bring along some company; there’s nothing better than great conversation as you drive along, sometimes it’s not always the destination, sometimes it’s the journey.
