Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Sydney?
Exciting road trip adventures await in Sydney, with daily car rental rates starting from an impressive NZ$80. That's based on prices found within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Kingsford Smith Intl. Airport (SYD)?
You can, and there's lots of choice. After you touch down and collect your bags, make your way to the rental car centre in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1. Here you can arrange your ride with reliable companies like Budget, Enterprise and Hertz. If you'd like some more options, see what's available with Europcar and Avis.
What happens if I need to cancel my Sydney car reservation?
We appreciate that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why most prepaid rentals give a complete refund if cancelled a minimum of six hours before collecting the car. It's a good idea to scan the agreement though as there are some exceptions. If the info isn't there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Sydney?
Reasonably priced, easy to handle and with excellent mileage, it's no surprise that compact vehicles are the most commonly booked rental in Sydney. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is ideal for city escapes or quick road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Sydney?
When you've checked out all of the interesting sights in Sydney, there's heaps more to explore in the surrounding region. Collect the keys to a rental car, pack your bags in the trunk and hit the road. These are some drives you're sure to love:

  • Make tracks to Newcastle for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. Around 121 kilometres from Sydney, it has tons of inspiring attractions like Newcastle Beach.
  • Why not see the wonders of Wollongong too? Notable attractions in this vibrant city include Wollongong City Beach. Wollongong is roughly 64 kilometres from Sydney.
  • Get out into the outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Telstra Tower. You'll find it around 241 kilometres from Sydney.

What is the cheapest car rental in Sydney?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've hopped behind the wheel of a rental car for just NZ$80 a day. The second lowest daily price offered in Sydney was NZ$113. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Where can I find a Sydney car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Sydney often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any extra costs for this age group. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your prospective rental dealer to avoid unnecessary costs when collecting your car.
