Default Can you help with car hire question?

Hi folks,

Coming over in June to Brisbane and need to hire a car until we can buy one. I passed my driving test here in the UK in September last year and have a full UK licence.

My question is will I be able to hire a car/drive a hired car (hubby been driving for years) having been only driving for 10 months?

Hope you can help.

Cheers

Ginny

Hi,

Just went on Thrifty's website and there terms and conditions don't mention anything about length of driving, as long as you're over 21.

Hubby will be happy that he won't be doing all the driving this time around!

Cheers

Ginny
