Here's what you need to know about renting a car in Korea's second-largest city.
The rental car counters at Gimhae Airport are on the first floor of the Passenger Terminal, near Exit 1. All major Korean companies like Lotte, SK, and HI Rent-a-Car are here. After signing your papers, take the 3-minute shuttle to the rental car lot. Book ahead during peak times like cherry blossom season (late March-early April) and summer holidays (July-August).
Quick tip: The airport rental offices are open from about 6 AM to 11 PM daily.
You'll need two things: your home country's license and an International Driving Permit (IDP). Get your IDP before coming to Korea — you can't get one here. Most rental companies in Busan require drivers to be at least 21 with one year of driving experience. Having a Korean friend book for you might get better rates, but you'll still need both licenses to drive.

Drive on the right side here. Speed cameras are everywhere - stick to limits (60-80 km/h in cities, 100-120 km/h on highways). No right turns on red unless there's a green arrow. Toll roads like the Busan-Geoje Bridge are worth taking for the views. Most rental cars include Hi-Pass toll payment systems.
