Tips for renting a car in Sydney Airport

Before you rent
Choose wisely. In 2019 we introduced our multi-product system which helps you choose a car based on your needs and easily see the final price. Car rental insurance can be tricky to navigate and often isn't what you expect, by booking with us direct you'll receive the correct insurance for your rental.

When you collect your vehicle
Plan ahead. We recommend planning your route before you leave, especially when renting a car at an airport. Are you sure where you're meeting your chaperone or where the rental desk is? Your confirmation email will have the contact information for the location, so we suggest saving the number in your phone ahead of time.

Have the correct documents ready. We try and keep the check in process as painless as possible but we do need to process certain information for legal reasons so having these ready ahead of time can help speed up the process. Make sure you have your booking details ready, along with your driving licence, passport and valid credit card.

Complete a vehicle check. It's essential when you are taken to your car you complete a Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) and note any existing damage, paying particular attention to the five damage hotspots. If you don't report this, you may be liable for these damages when you return the vehicle. We don't want you to get caught out, so we've put together a handy vehicle inspection video to help you check everything thoroughly.

While you rent
Take care. Unfortunately you may be liable for any damage caused to a vehicle in your care, and this will vary depending on the product you choose. A large proportion of damages to any car can be dings you pick up in car parks, so be mindful when space is limited and park further away and walk a little further to your destination.

When you return your vehicle
Complete a vehicle check. It's time to carry out a VCR again and even more essential to fully log any damage, no matter how small, to ensure you are fully covered and we can process your return effectively. Be sure to check the vehicle as before, paying special attention to the five damage hotspots.

Good to know about driving a rental car in Sydney


In Sydney, Australia, driving is on the left-hand side of the road. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

Speed limits around Sydney typically follow 50 km/h in urban areas, 80-100 km/h on suburban and rural roads, and up to 110 km/h on highways. However, speed limits can vary, especially near schools and construction zones, so always stay alert to signage.

Fuel stations are readily available throughout Sydney and along major roads, making it easy to refuel. However, if you plan to venture outside the city to more remote areas like the Blue Mountains or the Southern Highlands, it's important to monitor your fuel levels and plan stops in advance.

Sydney’s roads are generally well-maintained, but traffic can be heavy during peak hours, especially on motorways and around the central business district. Be mindful of toll roads, which are common in Sydney. It's also important to watch out for bus lanes and ensure you're aware of when you can or can't drive in them.

For a smooth driving experience, familiarize yourself with local traffic laws and consider renting a GPS or a car with built-in navigation. Don't hesitate to contact our office in Sydney if facing any problems. In case of emergencies, dial 000 for all emergency services.
