Question 2

Can I rent a car from Kingsford Smith Intl. Airport (SYD)?

Accepted Answer

You can, and there's lots of choice. After you touch down and collect your bags, make your way to the rental car centre 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.

Question 3

What happens if I need to cancel my Sydney car reservation?

Accepted Answer

We appreciate that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why most prepaid rentals give a complete refund if cancelled 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.

Question 4

What types of cars can I rent in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Reasonably priced, easy to handle and with excellent mileage, it's no surprise that compact vehicles are the most commonly booked rental in Sydney. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is ideal for city escapes or quick road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
