Sydney Rental Cars
However, if you are staying longer, wish to travel further afield, or simply want a bit more freedom and flexibility, you might prefer to hire a car. Self-driving offers a great opportunity to explore Sydney's vast coastlines or day trip to places like the Jenolan Caves, Blue Mountains or Hunter Valley.
Rental cars are freely available in Sydney, from both large well known companies and smaller local operators in the city and at the airport.
Most vehicles are less than 12 months old and feature automatic transmission and air-conditioning. Rental prices sometimes include insurance and unlimited mileage.
To rent a vehicle, you need to hold a current driver's licence and (in most cases) be 21 years or older.
International visitors please note:
Australians drive on the left-hand side of the road.
Speed limits and distances are expressed in kilometres (km) and a speed limit of 50km/h is enforced in residential and commercial areas, unless otherwise indicated. On highways the speed limit is usually 100km/h, unless otherwise indicated.
