Discover Car Hire in Sydney

Often mistaken as the capital of Australia, the beautiful city of Sydney is filled with culture, natural beauty, history and more. A hire car is the perfect way to explore this coastal city.

The greater Sydney region covers a large area, so hiring a car gives you the freedom to explore this area. DriveAway offers the choice to collect your car hire at Sydney Airport (international or domestic terminals) or from a number of convenient downtown locations. Sydney Airport is located in Mascot and is approximately 20 minutes from the city.

Choose an economy car for a quick business trip, a compact car for a weekend away, a full-size sedan for your business trip or a minivan for tour groups and sporting teams. If you're after something a bit more luxurious you can book a convertible for that trip down the coast. To help you drive the Sydney roads like a pro, our Australia Driving Tips page has everything you need to know to keep you moving. To catch a great price, visit our Australia Car Hire Deals page!
