Also, note that the selection of rental cars available at Sydney Airport may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
Will it be easy to collect my rental car at Sydney Airport?
Some Sydney Airport City car hire providers have depots that are easier to find and get to than others. Most of the depots within the city area are found in car parks or hotels. If you can collect a car outside of the CBD area, you may find it easier to access the car hire depot. You can check the depot addresses above to determine if you will be within walking distance of a car rental depot based on your accommodation location.
Do I need a rental car at Sydney Airport?
Travellers are recommended to book a hire car at Sydney Airport if they plan to venture to the outskirts of the CBD or further. Within the CBD there are public transport options and it is quite walkable. Public transport like ferries, buses and trains can also help get you to areas outside of the CBD, however, a rental car will give you the added convenience of travelling when and where you want to.
