Hire Before You Buy (First Car Buying Tips)

Here are the top tips on buying your first car after you pass your driving test. Don't buy cars based on a 15-minute test drive! If you intend to hire a vehicle for an extended test drive, ensure you speak to your insurance and car rental companies to ensure you are covered. Some companies may not cover p-platers in Australia, but it's worth researching. Overseas licence holders who acquire Australian driver's licenses should be eligible to hire and be covered by the rental companies' insurance policy. This video is a guide on how to optimise your car purchase. I don't make any guarantees on behalf of any third party, including but not limited to Car Rental or Insurance Companies. Whatever you do, drive safely. Follow me for the best tips on driving and how to pass your driving test.

Great advice. Also, if you are driving on your P plates, make sure the car you are buying are P plates approved (sorry, you can't drive that BMW M8 yet)

Are you allowed to bring a mechanic when purchasing a secondhand car in a dealership?

[@DrivingSchoolWA]

Absolutely. Every time I purchased a car through a dealership the salesman takes a car to the RAC workshop to carry out the inspection which is subject to my purchase.

Thank you for the response! More power!
