In Australia, we love expats. We love what they bring to our diverse little melting pot: we love their accents, their food and the way they help shape the multicultural place we live in. Wherever you’re from, we welcome you to Australia.

So, before you’re eating meat pies everyday and learning how to make tea in a billy can, you’re going to need a mode of transport. And no, we don’t ride around on kangaroos, as you would’ve quickly learned upon stepping out of the airport for the first time. What we use instead are these magical metal machines called cars… sometimes, they’re called utes, but we’ll get to that later.

Why you’ll need a car in Australia

Pretty much everyone in Australia owns a car. In fact, we’re the 6th highest country in the world by vehicle ownership with 92.5% of households having a car. While we’re a great country and we know it, we’ve got to admit that we’re a little behind on the ol’ public transport. Not even our biggest city of Sydney, with a population of almost 6 million people, has a comprehensive underground metro system – something that many smaller European cities, like Bucharest and Hamburg, do indeed possess.

And we’re just talking about getting around town. Imagine if you want to actually go from city to city – there are barely any trains, flights are expensive and it’d take you a lifetime to do it by boat. Plus, there’s nothing more Australian than doing a classic road trip.
