$147 Car Rental Barangaroo

Barangaroo is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Arrange a set of wheels and take to the road to see what's in the surrounding area. Here are some great options:

• Newcastle is about 75 miles from Barangaroo. Popular tourist attractions like Newcastle Beach deserve to be at the top of your list here.
• Your next stop? It has to be Wollongong, which is around 45 miles away. Wollongong City Beach is one local draw card you shouldn't miss.
• Spend time in the outdoors and breathe in some fresh air at Telstra Tower. You'll find it about 150 miles from Barangaroo.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
