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!
The choices of things to see and do in Sydney are second to none, and there is something for everyone to experience. As your flight arrives into Sydney Airport, the first thing you will notice are sweeping views of the world-famous Sydney Harbour. Port Jackson is better known as Sydney Harbour and is the backdrop to the iconic Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
Those feeling adventurous can complete the Bridge Climb or for those not so keen on heights, you can climb one of the towers and learn about the history of the bridge. Museum buffs have plenty of choice with the Australian Museum, Australian National Maritime Museum, Powerhouse Museum and Museum of Contemporary Art Australia all popular with locals and tourists alike.
Take a stroll through The Rocks and around Circular Quay which is filled with cafes, restaurants and pubs offering a wide variety of choices. Taronga Zoo, the Sydney Aquarium and Wildlife World are all popular with children and adults.
Don’t miss the iconic Bondi Beach for a glimpse of the quintessential Australian beach lifestyle. Head west of Sydney in your hire car and travel further afield towards the Blue Mountains and experience the natural beauty that Australia is known for.
