Running costs would vary depending on your car model. Typically, petrol costs and insurance would contribute largely to the costs. Choose a smaller and fuel efficient car since u just need to go from point to point. And depends on where you park. CBD parking would cost you a bomb. $700 is unlikely to be sufficient for rental plus all the running costs.

They would require me to get a car (buy/rent) and the $700 includes ERP, parking, insurance, car rental etc. Petrol is claimable based on mileage. I would like to hear your sincere opinion if this amount is adequate amount to get around. I would be only looking at a basic car (point A to point B type). Thank you in advance. Hi there,
