​ 🧳 Essential Things to Pack

  • Driver’s licence & credit card — a physical driver’s licence and a physical credit card in the main driver’s name are mandatory for all domestic car hire in Australia. Digital licences and digital wallets are not accepted by rental depots.

  • Medication & health items — prescriptions, pain relief, motion sickness tablets, first‑aid basics.

  • Weather‑appropriate clothing — layers, rain jacket, swimwear, comfortable shoes.

  • Tech & chargers — phone charger, power bank, camera gear, headphones.

  • Toiletries — sunscreen, insect repellent, skincare, deodorant, toothbrush.

  • Reusable items — water bottle, shopping bag, coffee cup.

  • Kids’ essentials — snacks, entertainment, comfort items, spare clothes.

  • Do you have enough luggage allowance?

  • Most domestic fares include 23kg checked baggage per person, but some tickets are carry-on only with a 7kg maximum.
    Business Class usually includes extra checked baggage, but carry-on limits are typically the same.
    If you think you’ll need more, contact Luxury Travel Planner before you travel — pre-purchasing extra baggage in advance is usually the easiest way to avoid higher airport fees.

🏡 Things to Do Before Leaving Home

  • Secure the house — lock all doors/windows, set alarms, close blinds, turn off appliances.

  • Bills & deliveries — pause mail, redirect parcels, pay upcoming bills.

  • Fridge & rubbish — empty perishables, take out bins, run the dishwasher.

  • Pets & plants — confirm pet‑sitting, top up food/water, arrange plant watering.

  • Energy-saving steps — unplug electronics, adjust air‑con/heating.

  • Share your itinerary — give a trusted person your travel dates and emergency contacts.
