As Sydney is the largest city in Australia, there can be a lot of traffic; especially during the morning and evening ‘peak hour’ times. Here are some of our top tips when driving in Sydney:
Louise (June 2019): I booked a standard car from Enterprise during a business trip in Sydney. Overall experience in collecting and returning the rental car is good. I rate the vehicle 10/10.
Stephen (July 2019): I collected a Mitsubishi ASX from Europcar Australia when I flew into Sydney Airport. We were there for a holiday and found the pickup and drop off process okay. I rate the SUV provided to us a 9/10.
Chrstine C (July 2019): I booked a compact Toyota Corolla through Thrifty at Sydney Airport. I found the car to be in good condition. The pickup process was quick for me. I was also able to return the vehicle easily with no hassles following the signs to return rental cars when arriving at the airport.

Car insurance is covered by the car rental company in Australia, but, if the car is damaged or stolen during your rental period you will pay an excess amount. This varies depending on your car rental agreement but is generally anywhere from AUD$4000 to AUD$8250. Read more about how to reduce your car rental excess.
Make sure you are covered for damages by purchasing Rental Vehicle Excess Insurance through our partner Hiccup. This may also be included in your travel insurance, so it is worth checking before purchasing an additional policy.
