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 $39. 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 center 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 canceled 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.

Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll get access to terrific discounts when you combine your bookings into a package.
What do you need to rent a car in Sydney?
The main requirements are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any problems.

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.

Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your vacation. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and secure a ride that's all yours for the duration of your escape.
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.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Sydney?
A thorough insurance plan is a good idea for your upcoming Sydney vacation. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Sydney with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
