Top tips for hiring a car in Alexandria


Skip bus waits, train timetables and expensive taxi fees and enjoy the luxury of your own car! Hiring a car in Alexandria means you can travel at your own pace and make sure you hit all the top spots on your bucket list. To help you make the most of your experience, we’ve rounded up top tips for the easiest road trip you’ll ever have.


Alexandria road rules and driving conditions


Alexandria, NSW, follows the standard road rules applicable throughout New South Wales. These include keeping to the left side of the road, obeying all traffic signals and signs, and using seat belts for all passengers.


Speed limits are marked and vary depending on the area, with residential zones typically having a limit of 50 km/h unless otherwise stated. Unique to urban areas like Alexandria, parking restrictions are strictly enforced, so keep an eye out for parking signage to avoid a fine.


A few key things to keep in mind are:


  • - Driving conditions: Expect congestion during peak hours, particularly on Mitchell Road, Sydney Park Road, Euston Road, and McEvoy Street, as well as clearway restrictions for parking in Alexandria.
  • - Road quality & climate: Alexandria roads are well-maintained, but NSW can experience heavy rain and flooding.
  • - Flooding: Never drive through floodwaters; check Live Traffic NSW for alerts on closures during storms.
  • - Supplies for road trips: Carry water and a first aid kit, and check weather conditions if travelling outside the city.
  • - Car seat regulations: Children under seven must use an approved car seat suitable for their age and size.

Alexandria’s location as an inner city suburb close to Sydney CBD means it can experience heavy traffic, so patience and awareness of pedestrian activity are crucial.


Are there toll roads in Alexandria?


There are no toll roads in Alexandria. However, there are a number of toll roads located throughout Sydney, including the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, Hills M2 Motorway, M5 South-West Motorway, and the Eastern Distributor.


Petrol stations and EV chargers in Alexandria


You can find plenty of petrol stations and EV chargers in Alexandria to stop and refuel when needed. There’s an Ampol Foodary EV charging station on the corner of Wyndham St and McEvoy St and another on Huntley St in the heart of the suburb.


For those looking for petrol stations, you’ll find them sprinkled all around, with a Metro Petroleum on Henderson Rd and a 24-hour Shell on Botany Rd.


Do I need to rent a car in Alexandria?


Renting a car in Alexandria is essential if you want to make the most of your Sydney trip. Though the suburb is quite centrally located and has public transport connections, a rental car can be invaluable for exploring areas beyond the city, like the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, or coastal regions.


If flexibility and convenience are priorities, having a car is highly recommended, especially for day trips or road trips. Plus, with options like short and long-term car rental on Turo, you can easily find a vehicle that suits your needs.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

If you're looking for something more long-term, you’ll find some commercial vehicles with great discounts which can be a great option for extended stays or projects. Booking early will also give you great savings since advanced reservations often come with better rates and more vehicle options.

If you're hiring a car from Alexandria Airport, costs may include additional fees, such as airport surcharges, but the convenience of picking up your vehicle upon arrival can be worth it. Whether you’re planning a short trip or a longer adventure, flexible rental options in Alexandria on Turo means you’ll find something that fits your budget.

Can I book a long-term car hire in Alexandria?

Yes, you can easily book a long-term car hire in Alexandria through Turo. Whether you need a vehicle for business hours, a month or longer, this option is perfect for extended travel, work assignments, or temporary needs, offering flexible terms and often discounted rates for extended rentals.
