Hi fellow FT'ers!

45 days from take-off for my biggest trip ever, to OZ/NZ. We will not be getting a rental car in Sydney, but are planning on one in Cairns (3 days) and must have one in Queenstown (4 days).

Any suggestions on better rental car places for either location?

Tips on discounts?

Tips on driving on the other side of the road? (this will be my first experience with that!!!)

Also...this may be a stupid question, but is the steering wheel on the passenger side (US Speaking)

Found one company called Omega in Queenstown who seemed to have a decent deal but not used to older rental cars (used to new..is this a common practice) also the offer a cell phone for 4 bucks a day but no detail on what that includes....any ideas?

Thanks gang!!!
